Reconstruction of diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) in
diffusion MRI is usually done independently for each DWI,
without exploiting structural correlations between the
DWIs. In this work, we propose direct reconstruction of
the average diffusion propagator (directly from k-space
data), taking advantage of the DWIs being linked
together via their Fourier relationship with the average
propagator space, while regularization using
five-dimensional total generalized variation (TGV) along
both image space and diffusion space is applied. The
results demonstrate the ability of the method to
reconstruct q-space-undersampled data in a compressed
sensing framework, simultaneously denoising the data.
