Diffusion MRI enables non-invasive probing of tissue microstructure, but accurate parameter estimation is challenged by noise-related effects. In supervised machine learning frameworks trained on simulated data, discrepancies between the noise characteristics of simulated and acquired signals introduce a form of covariate shift, whereby the input signal distribution differs between training and inference.
Brain tissue microstructure estimation with machine learning provides higher computational efficiency than conventional fitting. However, machine learning still presents important limitations that hamper its clinical utility.

Objective: Radiomic texture features are usually computed in voxel-index neighborhoods, implicitly assuming isotropic spatial relationships. In anisotropic images, this can confound voxel geometry with interpolation-induced signal changes.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) super-resolution is vital for improving diagnostic accessibility, yet most methods treat it as a deterministic mapping from a fixed low-resolution input to a high-resolution target. This overlooks a key property of MRI acquisition physics: spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are inherently coupled, making any given low-resolution scan merely one of many possible realizations under varying acquisition trade-offs.
