This current study reports the results of intravoxel
incoherent motion (IVIM)-based diffusion weighted
imaging evaluation of 17 healthy volunteers and 34 liver
fibrosis subjects. Pure molecular diffusion (D), the
fraction of the diffusion linked to microcirculation
(f), and perfusion-related diffusion (D*) were computed.
The results demonstrated all D value, f value, and D*
value were significantly lower in the fibrosis livers
compared with the healthy livers, and progressively
lower as the severity of liver fibrosis increased.
