A multi-b-value DWI imaging method based on multi-shot EPIK with continuously changing b values and Locally Low-Rank (LLR) constraint is proposed. The multi-shot EPIK acquisition improves resolution of multi-b-value DWI, and acquisition of the central k-space in every b-value bypasses the need for careful initialization. The LLR constrained problem is solved by a newly developed ADMM algorithm with robust performance. Preliminary data in healthy subjects showed that the proposed method outperforms LLR-POCS and SPA-LLR for reconstruction at high undersampling rates.
