Predicting Clinical Improvement in Chronic Low Back Pain Using Exercise‐Induced IVIM Perfusion: Threshold Evaluation and Disability‐Dependent Effects [PDF]
Previous findings showed that IVIM measures in lumbar muscles in response to acute exercise could predict response to exercise‐based rehabilitation in chronic low back pain. Here, we tested this in a larger independent cohort (n = 37), confirming greater increases in muscle diffusion (D) after exercise in those who responded to rehabilitation. However,

High‐Resolution IVIM MRI Characterizes Diffusion–Perfusion Properties of the Parasagittal Dura [PDF]
Parasagittal dura demonstrates intermediate diffusion and elevated perfusion‐related IVIM metrics compared with brain parenchyma, reflecting its unique microfluidic environment at the CSF–dura interface. IVIM imaging of the parasagittal dura provides a rapid, noncontrast MRI approach to assess dural fluid transport and may offer a potential imaging ...

Application of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of primitive brain tumours. [PDF]
Intravoxel incoherent motion is a potential non-invasive diagnostic tool in brain tumours, without any clear guidelines for its evaluation yet. In our study, we compare intravoxel incoherent motion with dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging in the quantification of tumour tissue blood perfusion in 28 patients affected by brain ...

Accurate estimation of intravoxel incoherent motion parameters based on implicit neural representation [PDF]
Abstract BackgroundIntravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion‐weighted imaging has important value in treatment response monitoring. However, traditional voxel‐wise independent fitting methods are highly sensitive to noise and do not utilize spatial correlation, resulting in unstable parameter estimation. Although existing deep learning methods have

Selective microvascular muscle perfusion imaging in the shoulder with intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) [PDF]
The evaluation of local muscle recruitment during a specific movement can be done indirectly by measuring changes in local blood flow. Intravoxel incoherent motion perfusion imaging exploits some properties of the magnetic resonance to measure locally microvascular perfusion, and seems ideally suited for this task.

Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) have been explored to assess liver tumors and diffused liver diseases. IVIM reflects the microscopic translational motions that occur in voxels in magnetic resonance (MR) DWI.
