Comparison of fitting methods and b‐value sampling strategies for intravoxel incoherent motion in breast cancer

Purpose To compare fitting methods and sampling strategies, including the implementation of an optimized b‐value selection for improved estimation of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters in breast cancer. Methods Fourteen patients (age, 48.4 ± 14.27 years) with cancerous lesions underwent 3 Tesla breast MRI examination for a HIPAA‐compliant, institutional review board approved diffusion MR study. IVIM biomarkers were calculated using...
