Outlier Rejection for Diffusion Weighted Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces an outlier rejection and signal reconstruction method for high angular resolution diffusion weighted imaging. The approach is based on the thresholding of Laplacian measurements over the sphere of the apparent diffusion coefficient profiles defined for a given set of gradient directions. Exemplary results are presented.

RESTORE: robust estimation of tensors by outlier rejection.
Signal variability in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is influenced by both thermal noise and spatially and temporally varying artifacts such as subject motion and cardiac pulsation. In this paper, the effects of DWI artifacts on estimated tensor values, such as trace and fractional anisotropy, are analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. A novel approach for robust diffusion tensor estimation,...
متن کاملMaking the Robust Tensor Estimation Approach: "RESTORE" more Robust
Introduction: The Robust Estimation of Tensors by Outlier Rejection (RESTORE) [1] has been demonstrated to be an effective method for improving tensor estimation on a voxel by voxel basis in the presence of artifactual data points in the diffusion weighted images (DWIs). However, the RESTORE method that combines robust regression and outlier rejection techniques relies on data redundancy [2]. T...
متن کاملImproved, Real-time Artifact Detection and Reacquisiton for Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)
Introduction: In DTI, diffusion tensor is estimated by least square error fit of measured diffusion weighted images (DWI) and b0 images. However, DWIs often suffer from pulsation-caused, subpixel motion artifacts which result in erroneous tensor estimation. To solve this problem, outlier rejection methods, such as RESTORE [1][2], have been proposed in which a tensor is first estimated with all ...
متن کاملChoice of diffusion tensor estimation approach affects fiber tractography of the fornix in preterm brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neonatal DTI enables quantitative assessment of microstructural brain properties. Although its use is increasing, it is not widely known that vast differences in tractography results can occur, depending on the diffusion tensor estimation methodology used. Current clinical work appears to be insufficiently focused on data quality and processing of neonatal DTI. To raise a...
متن کاملInformed RESTORE for Removal of Physiological Noise Artifacts in Low Redundancy DTI Data
Introduction: Robust tensor fitting approaches, such as Geman-McClure M-estimator [1] and the Robust Estimation of Tensors by Outlier Rejection (RESTORE) [2] are effective methods for improving tensor estimation on a voxel-by-voxel basis in the presence of artifactual data points in the diffusion weighted images (DWIs). However, all robust tensor fitting methods rely on data redundancy [3]. The...
