and lowering the Rician noise floor prior to image reconstruction, albeit in inequivalent
diffusion MRI (dMRI) acquisitions. For that, we identify and remove the pure-noise principal
components in joint coils x q-space x voxels dMRI data, as they follow the universal
Marchenko-Pastur distribution. The method is demonstrated on 0.8 mm isotropic voxels for
b= 1000 and 2000 protocol (3T), showing an increase of SNR and decrease of the Rician …
