Restoration of DWI data using a Rician LMMSE Estimator

FA values and direction of major tensor eigenvalue based on original DWI data.
FA values and direction of major tensor eigenvalue after filtering the DWI data using the LMMSE filter.

Our Objective is to provide a way for noise removal in diffusion weighted images incorporating the Rician noise model. The Rician noise level is estimated automatically and used to parametrize the local Linear Minimum Mean Squared Error estimator.

Description

The method was evaluated on real and synthetic datasets. A Slicer 3 module was developed.
