Fiber-Resolved Microstructure Quantification from Multi-Shell Diffusion MRI using Detection Transformers
Fiber orientation and compartmental microstructure are central to the characterization of white matter tissue in diffusion MRI, yet existing methods either resolve fiber orientations without quantifying microstructure, or quantify microstructure while assuming a fixed number of compartments and a single fiber direction. Nonparametric approaches that recover both require tensor-valued diffusion encoding and computationally expensive Monte-Carlo inversion of an ill-posed inverse Laplace transform. We propose to reframe this problem as an object detection-like task, adopting the Detection Transformer (DETR) architecture to jointly predict mean diffusivity (MD), fractional anisotropy (FA), ma...
