With age, the prevalence of diseases such as fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, and type two
diabetes increases. Approaches to both predict abdominal age and identify risk factors for …

Purpose To determine whether a mono-, bi-or tri-exponential model best fits the intravoxel
incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signal of normal livers. Materials …

Purpose: To investigate whether the malignancy of atypical nodules in cirrhosis can be
identified at gadoxetic‐acid‐disodium (Gd‐EOB‐DTPA)‐MRI by their hypointensity in the …

Purpose To acquire more detailed information noninvasively through on diffusion and
perfusion in normal and cirrhotic livers, we analyzed three diffusion components using …

Purpose To evaluate the dependence on the b‐values adopted of apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC), perfusion fraction (PF), slow and fast diffusion coefficient (Dslow, Dfast) …

Objective Clinical hepatic diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) generally relies on mono-
exponential diffusion. The aim was to demonstrate that mono-exponential diffusion in the …

Objectives To prospectively verify, in vivo, Le Bihan's model of signal decay in magnetic
resonance/diffusion-weighted imaging (intravoxel incoherent motion) in healthy liver …

Purpose: To compare the abilities of three intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging
approximation methods to discriminate the histological grade of hepatocellular carcinomas …

Purpose To prospectively evaluate the effect of gadoxetic acid (Gd‐EOB‐DTPA; Primovist,
Bayer‐Schering, Berlin, Germany) on quantitative diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) using …

Objectives To investigate how normal liver parenchyma visibility on 3 T diffusion-weighted
images (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) quantification are influenced by age …
