Multi-shell multi-tissue constrained spherical deconvolution (MSMT-CSD) and single-shell 3-tissue CSD (SS3T-CSD) decompose the diffusion MRI signal in a white matter (WM) fibre orientation distribution (FOD) and grey matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) compartments. An unsupervised method was recently proposed to estimate the required WM/GM/CSF response functions. In this work, we improved WM response function estimation by leveraging WM properties across b-values, resulting in better 3-tissue CSD fit to most data. Slightly beyond the scope of this work, we also make an interesting observation in developing Human Connectome Project data.
