Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is a critical modality that allows characterization of microstructure of the nervous tissue in the human brain. Recent multi-parametric acquisitions expand parameter space to b-values, gradient directions, inversion and echo times. The required long scanning time could be shortened by acquiring at lower resolutions while superesolving the images during post-processing. This work embodies the evaluation of an open challenge where the objective was to upsample multi dimensional data encoding simultaneously T1, T2* and diffusion contrast to the natively acquired voxel resolution from two different down-sampled sets of the data (isotropic down-sampled and anisotropic down-sampled).
