A New Approach in MRI Signal Processing for Detecting the Axonal Organization of the Brain

This article introduces a new methodology for reconstructing the white matter fiber pathways of brain in diffusion MRI. Usually, the signal intensity values will be lesser in the direction of higher diffusivity. The proposed approach picks the diffusion sensitivity gradient directions (dSGD), where the signal intensities are diminutive. Considering these as the directions of maximum diffusivity, we generate directions uniformly distributed around the picked dSGD. These newly computed uniformly spaced directions are considered gradient directions used in the reconstruction process. The state-of-art schemes like uniform gradient direction (UGD) have redundancy in the gradient direction, and adaptive gradient direction (AGD) has a constraint of solving linear system twice per voxel. These two limitations are turned down in this study simultaneously. Estimating gradient directions with the proposed scheme is employed in the multi-compartmental mixture models for calculating the fiber orientations. Simulation and experiments on the real data evaluate the feasibility of the proposed method.
