    Abstract: A method is provided that includes acquiring coil data from a magnetic resonance imaging device. The coil data includes undersampled k-space data. The method includes processing the coil data using an image reconstruction technique to generate an initial undersampled image. The method includes generating a reconstructed image based on the coil data, the initial undersampled image, and multiple iterative blocks of a residual deep-learning image reconstruction network. A first iterative block of the residual deep-learning image reconstruction network receives the initial undersampled image. Each of the multiple iterative blocks includes a data-consistency unit that preserves the fidelity of the coil data in a respective output of a respective iterative block utilizing zeroed data consistency. The initial undersampled image is added to an output of the last iterative block via a residual connection. The residual deep-learning image reconstruction network is a neural network trained using previously acquired coil data.

    Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging method includes generating spatially resolved fiber orientation distributions (FODs) from magnetic resonance signals acquired from a patient tissue using a plurality of diffusion encodings, each acquired magnetic resonance signal corresponding to one of the diffusion encodings and being representative of a three-dimensional distribution of displacement of magnetic spins of gyromagnetic nuclei present in each imaging voxel. Generating the spatially resolved FODs includes performing generalized spherical deconvolution using the acquired magnetic resonance signals and a modeled tissue response matrix (TRM) to reconstruct the spatially resolved FODs. The method also includes using the spatially resolved FODs to generate a representation of fibrous tissue within the patient tissue.

    Abstract: A method of compressed sensing for multi-shell magnetic resonance imaging includes obtaining magnetic resonance imaging data, the data being sampled along multi-shell spherical coordinates, the spherical coordinates coincident with a plurality of spokes that converge at an origin, constructing a symmetric shell for each respective sampled multi-shell to create a combined set of data, performing a three-dimensional Fourier transform on the combined set of data to reconstruct an image, and de-noising the reconstructed image by iteratively applying a sparsifying transform on non-sampled data points of neighboring shells. The method can also include randomly under-sampling the imaging data to create missing data points. A system configured to implement the method and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting magnetic resonance (MR) data are provided. One method includes receiving the MR data and correcting errors present in the MR data due to non-uniformities in magnetic field gradients used to generate the diffusion weighted MR signals. The method also includes correcting errors present in the MR data due to concomitant gradient fields present in the magnetic field gradients by using one or more gradient terms. At least one of the gradient terms is corrected based on the correction of errors present in the MR data due to the non-uniformities in the magnetic field gradients.

    Abstract: A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging method includes acquiring MR signals having phase and magnitude at q-space locations using a diffusion sensitizing pulse sequence performed on a tissue of interest, wherein the acquired signals each include a set of complex Fourier encodings representing a three-dimensional displacement distribution of the spins in a q-space location. The signals each include information relating to coherent motion and incoherent motion in the q-space location. The method also includes determining a contribution by coherent motion to the phase of the acquired MR signals; removing the phase contribution attributable to coherent motion from the acquired MR signals to produce a complex data set for each q-space location and an image of velocity components for each q-space location; and producing a three-dimensional velocity image from the image of the velocity components.
