In current multi b-value DWI, each b-value image is usually reconstructed independently by using parallel MRI techniques. In this work, we propose a model-based joint reconstruction method for the reconstruction of under-sampled multi b-value DWI data. The proposed method can directly estimate quantitative parameters form k-space data, and exploit inter-image constraint to improve the quality of reconstructed image.
