Synopsis

Keywords: Diffusion Analysis & Visualization, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniques

Motivation: Joint denoising diffusion-weighted images in high b-values

Goal(s): to achieve a better joint denoising of diffusion-weighted image at high b-values.

Approach: A low-rank tensor dictionary learning model was introduced to joint denoising diffusion-weighted images at b-values of 1000/2000 s/mm2 for both simulations and in vivo datasets. Three state-of-the-art methods, MPPCA, WNNM, and a pre-trained complex-valued DnCNN were compared.

Results: In the simulation, the proposed method achieved the smallest RMSE. In vivo, the proposed method demonstrated a promising denoising ability while better preserving the image structures.

Impact: We proposed a low-rank tensor dictionary learning method to better exploit non-local spatial redundancies and image correlations across different b-values with learned dictionaries and low-rank tensor approximation, providing a promising performance in denoising and preserving the image structures.
