Measuring Perfusion Intravoxel Incoherent Motion MR Imaging

perfusion information from a standard diffusion-weighted sequence. ?The perfusion information obtained with IVIM is local and quantitative, which contrasts with other perfusion methods such as dynamic susceptibility MR imaging or arterial spin labeling, which are inflow dependent. ? The IVIM perfusion method does not require intravenous contrast media injection and can therefore be applied without arm in all groups of patients, such as newborns or patients with renal failure.

Automated summary

IVIM perfusion method provides local and quantitative perfusion information without the need for contrast agents, making it suitable for use in all patient populations, including newborns and those with renal failure.
