Abstract

A superresolution algorithm was applied to spatially shifted, single-shot, diffusion-weighted brain images to generate a new image with increased spatial resolution. Detailed two-dimensional white matter fiber tract maps of the human brain resulting from application of the technique are shown. The method provides a new means for improving the resolution in cases where k-space segmentation is difficult to implement. Diffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging in vivo stand to benefit in particular because the necessity of obtaining high-resolution scans is matched by the difficulty in obtaining them.
