Muscle health is a critical component of overall health and quality of life. However, current measures of skeletal muscle health take limited account of microstructural variations within muscle, which play a crucial role in mediating muscle function. To address this, we present a physics-inspired, machine learning-based framework for the non-invasive and in vivo estimation of microstructural organization in skeletal muscle from diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI). To reduce the computational expense associated with direct numerical simulations of dMRI physics, a polynomial meta-model is developed that accurately represents the input/output relationships of a high-fidelity numerical model. This meta-model is used to develop a Gaussian process (GP) model to provide voxel-wise estimates and confidence intervals of microstructure organization in skeletal muscle. Given noise-free data, the GP model accurately estimates microstructural parameters. In the presence of noise, the diameter, intracellular diffusion coefficient, and membrane permeability are accurately estimated with narrow confidence intervals, while volume fraction and extracellular diffusion coefficient are poorly estimated and exhibit wide confidence intervals. A reduced-acquisition GP model, consisting of one-third the diffusion-encoding measurements, is shown to predict parameters with similar accuracy to the original model. The fiber diameter and volume fraction estimated by the reduced GP model is validated via histology, with both parameters within their associated confidence intervals, demonstrating the capability of the proposed framework as a promising non-invasive tool for assessing skeletal muscle health and function.
