The effect of low b‐values on the intravoxel incoherent motion derived pseudodiffusion parameter in liver

Purpose To examine the effect of low b‐values (0 < b < 50 s/mm 2 ) on the calculation of the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) derived pseudodiffusion parameter in the normal liver. Methods Simulations were performed to examine the effects of adding low b‐values on the pseudodiffusion parameter. Low b‐values were cumulatively added to the distribution and the IVIM signal was generated with varying pseudodiffusion values. The signal was...
