abstract = {We propose a simple and straightforward analytic solution for the
Q-ball reconstruction of the diffusion orientation distribution
function (ODF) of the underlying fiber population. First, the signal
is modeled with a high order spherical harmonic series using a Laplace-Beltrami
regularization method which leads to an elegant mathematical simplification
of the Funk-Radon transform using the Funk-Hecke formula. In doing
so, we obtain a fast and robust model-free ODF approximation. We
validate the accuracy of the estimation quantitatively against synthetic
data generated from the multi-tensor model and show that our estimated
ODF can recover known multiple fiber regions in a biological phantom
and in the human brain.},
