Keywords: Diffusion Reconstruction, Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Motivation: High-quality DTI requires numerous DWIs, extending scan times; however, despite deep learning's advances in reconstructing DTI with fewer DWIs, its adaptability across various gradient protocols remains limited, challenging its clinical application.
Goal(s): Our aim is to enable consistent, high-quality DTI reconstructions from fewer DWIs across different gradient schemes, enhancing adaptability in various clinical environments.
Approach: We employ self-supervised contrastive learning to extract and preserve key features between datasets derived from the same data with different gradient sampling methods.
Results: Our method reliably enhanced diffusion tensor maps from reduced DWIs across various gradient sampling schemes, outperforming both conventional methods and state-of-the-art deep learning model.
Impact: Our method creates high-quality DTI from fewer DWIs, reducing scan times and easing patient burden, while showing consistent performance across various gradient sampling schemes, ensuring high adaptability and ease of use in diverse clinical settings.
