Quantitative diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a promising technique for evaluating the spinal cord in health and disease. However, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can impede interpretation and quantification of these images. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a denoising approach, Patch2Self, to improve the quality, reliability, and accuracy of quantitative diffusion MRI of the spinal cord. Patch2Self is a self-supervised learning-based denoising method that leverages statistical independence of no...
