In another submitted abstract Compressive Diffusion MRI Part 1: Why Low-Rank?, we compared several sparsity models and found that the low-rank (LR) model is the most suitable for diffusion MRI. In this abstract we retrospectively explore compressive MRI in the context of diffusion MRI via LR. The results suggest that LR is able to accurately reconstruct the diffusion MR images from highly undersampled k-space, in terms of both the image quality and the angular differences in the principal and secondary diffusion orientations.
