abstract="We address the problem of efficient sampling of the
diffusion space for the Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI)
modality. While recent scanner improvements enable the acquisition of
more and more detailed images, it is still unclear which q-space
sampling strategy gives the best performance. We evaluate several
q-space sampling distributions by an approach based on the
approximation of the MR signal by a series expansion of Spherical
Harmonics and Laguerre-Gaussian functions. With the help of synthetic
experiments, we identify a subset of sampling distributions which
leads to the best reconstructed data."
