Spatially Constrained Probability Distribution Model of Incoherent Motion (spim) Improves Longitudinal Reproducibility of Quantitative Diffusion Weighted Mri
Purpose: Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) of the body is a non-invasive imaging technique that enables characterization of tissue microenvironments through measurement of variations in the mobility of water molecules due to cellularity, cell membrane integrity, and compartment they are located. Quantitative DW-MRI has a well-established role in the detection, characterization and follow-up of a ...
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 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 کاملD-optimal design of b-values for accurate intra-voxel incoherent motion imaging
The aim of this paper is to optimally design the set of b-values for diffusion weighted MRI with the aim of accurate estimation of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters (f perfusion fraction, Ds slow diffusion, Df fast diffusion) according to the model developed by Le Bihan. Previous studies have addressed the design in a Monte Carlo fashion. Due to huge computation times, this approac...
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.
