Purpose To characterize the diffusion coefficient of human blood for accurate results in
intravoxel incoherent motion imaging. Methods Diffusion‐weighted MRI of blood samples …

Purpose The pseudo‐diffusion coefficient D* in intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging
was found difficult to seize. Flow‐compensated diffusion gradients were used to test the …

OBJECTIVE. Diffusion-weighted MRI is increasingly applied in the body. It has been
recognized for some time, on the basis of scientific experiments and studies in the brain, that …

Purpose To systematically analyze intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI in a perfusable
capillary phantom closely matching the geometry of capillary beds in vivo and to compare …

Purpose To evaluate the influence of fitting methods on the accuracy and reliability of
intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters, with a particular emphasis on the constraint …

Objectives The aims of this study were to demonstrate the theoretical meaning of intravoxel
incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters and to compare the robustness of 2 biexponential …

Purpose To demonstrate that diffusion‐weighted images should be acquired at the instant of
maximum blood velocity in kidneys to extract the perfusion fraction (PF) by the bi …

The intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) theory provides a framework for the separation of
perfusion and diffusion effects in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). To measure the three …

Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging is a method the authors developed to visualize
microscopic motions of water. In biologic tissues, these motions include molecular diffusion …

Objectives To investigate the technical feasibility of whole-body intravoxel incoherent motion
(IVIM) imaging. Materials and Methods Whole-body MR images of eight healthy volunteers …
