Impact of Patch 2 Self denoising on Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging at different field strengths

Visual comparison for one exemplary axial slice on Mean Kurtosis (MK) map at 3T and 7T; (b) Number of implausible voxels for MK and Radial Kurtosis (RK) in Corpus Callosum (CC) and Posterior Limb of Internal Capsule (PLIC); (c) Boxplots quantifying the increase in R metric after fitting downstream DKI model to axial slice. * indicates p <= 1.00e-04 Abstract— We aim at assessing and comparing denoising performance on Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) estimates acquired at two different magnetic fields (3T and 7T) through a recently proposed method based on self-supervised learning.
