S-LORAKS reconstruction for BUDA-circular-EPI data

Demonstration code for the NeuroImage paper, Liao C, et al. High-fidelity mesoscale in-vivo diffusion MRI through gSlider-BUDA and circular EPI with S-LORAKS reconstruction. NeuroImage. 2023;275:120168. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811923003191

The datasets presented in this repository are from a BUDA-circular-EPI acquisition with blip-up and -down shots.

Written by Congyu Liao, Uten Yarach and Tae Hyung Kim. Please feel free to contact Congyu Liao (cyliao@stanford.edu) if there's any question I can help answer.
