Objective. Most deep neural network-based diffusion tensor imaging methods require the diffusion gradients' number and directions in the data to be reconstructed to match those in the training data. This work aims to develop and evaluate a novel dynamic-convolution-based method called FlexDTI for highly efficient diffusion tensor reconstruction with flexible diffusion encoding gradient scheme. Approach. FlexDTI was developed to achieve high-quality DTI parametric mapping with flexible number and directions of diffusion encoding gradients. The method used dynamic convolution kernels to embed diffusion gradient direction information into feature maps of the corresponding diffusion signal. Furthermore, it realized the generalization of a flexible number of diffusion gradient directions by setting the maximum number of input channels of the network. The network was trained and tested using datasets from the Human Connectome Project and local hospitals. Results from FlexDTI and other advanced tensor parameter estimation methods were compared. Main results. Compared to other methods, FlexDTI successfully achieves high-quality diffusion tensor-derived parameters even if the number and directions of diffusion encoding gradients change. It reduces normalized root mean squared error by about 50% on fractional anisotropy and 15% on mean diffusivity, compared with the state-of-the-art deep learning method with flexible diffusion encoding gradient scheme. Significance. FlexDTI can well learn diffusion gradient direction information to achieve generalized DTI reconstruction with flexible diffusion gradient scheme. Both flexibility and reconstruction quality can be taken into account in this network.
