IVIM MR imaging was conducted on untreated NPC cases
during two cycle of induction chemotherapy. The
diffusion and perfusion characteristics D, D*and f were
derived and the alterations of maximum tumor diameter
were measured. We found D ascended continually with the
earliest significant rise at day 3 while D* fluctuated
momentarily at the first cycle. Patients was considered
responders and non-responders referring to the RECIST
criteria after chemotherapy. D and f of responders
showed a higher tendency than non-responders. IVIM is
feasible in detecting early diffusion and perfusion
response to chemotherapy in NPC and potentially helpful
with prognosis determination.
