Systematic analysis of the intravoxel incoherent motion threshold separating perfusion and diffusion effects: Proposal of a standardized algorithm

Purpose To systematically evaluate the dependence of intravoxel‐incoherent‐motion (IVIM) parameters on the b‐value threshold separating the perfusion and diffusion compartment, and to implement and test an algorithm for the standardized computation of this threshold. Methods Diffusion weighted images of the upper abdomen were acquired at 3 Tesla in eleven healthy male volunteers with 10 different b‐values and in two healthy male volunteers with...
