Joint Reconstruction of Multiple b‐Values and Multiple Directions for Accelerating Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging

Abstract

While multishot interleaved echo‐planar imaging (iEPI) enables higher resolution diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) compared to single‐shot EPI, its clinical application is hindered by the lengthy acquisition time. This study proposes a novel model‐based reconstruction approach to accelerate iEPI DKI acquisition.
