We have developed a comprehensive optimised CHARMED pipeline, comprising an optimised data acquisition scheme, based on the electrostatic repulsion algorithm, combined with optimised ordering and extended to different b-value shells, and an analysis approach that incorporates a model parsimony. Marked improvements in data quality are demonstrated using a bootstrap approach. Our proposed pipeline clearly improves the data quality and results in better confidence in the estimated parameters such as fibre orientation.
