A computer-assisted diagnostic tool was evaluated in 36
patients with breast lesions. The IVIM signal of each
voxel was fitted using a kurtosis diffusion model and
with the IVIM model. A parametric map was then generated
by ascribing each voxel a value from 0 to 3 according to
the number of parameters falling beyond a given
threshold (K>0.80, ADCo<1.40 x 10-3mm/s, fIVIM>2.07%)
established from a previous study, and displayed using a
color scale. The diagnostic accuracy of this
computer-assisted diagnosis tool (3 or 2: malignant
likely, 1 or 0: benign likely) was found very high (97 %
sensitivity and 100 % specificity).
