Intra-voxel incoherent motion MRI in rodent model of diethylnitrosamine-induced liver fibrosis.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To compare the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the perfusion fraction measured by intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with liver fibrosis degrees in a rodent model. MATERIALS AND METHODS All experiments received approval from our institutional animal care and use committee. Liver fibrosis was induced in 13 rats by oral gavage...

متن کاملIntra-voxel incoherent motion MRI of the living human foetus: technique and test–retest repeatability
Background: Our purpose was to test the within-subject (test–retest) reproducibility of the perfusion fraction, diffusion coefficient, and pseudo-diffusion coefficient measurements in various foetus organs and in the placenta based on the intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM) principle. Methods: In utero diffusion-weighted IVIM magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 15 pregnant women ...
متن کاملIntra Voxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) MRI of the human spinal cord: preliminary results and potentiality
INTRODUCTION: There is a lack of MR techniques able to provide human spinal cord (SC) haemodynamic information. Dedicated methods such as ASL or VASO techniques [1,2], which currently suffer from low sensitivity or CSF contamination in the absence of ECG-synchronization, need to be improved in order to provide reliable information. In this context, the IVIM (Intra Voxel Incoherent Motion) techn...
متن کاملOptimization of intra‐voxel incoherent motion measurement in diffusion‐weighted imaging of breast cancer
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to optimize intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM) measurement in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of breast cancer by separating perfusion and diffusion effects through the determination of an optimal threshold b-value, thus benign and cancerous breast tissues can be accurately differentiated using IVIM-derived diffusion and perfusion parameters. MATERIALS...
