We investigated the super-resolution reconstruction method for IVIM imaging based on convolution neural networks (CNN). Three-layers-CNN was constructed and trained firstly with a series of paired low- and high-resolution images, and then the super-resolution IVIM images were reconstructed with such network, the reconstruction quality was evaluated finally in terms of PSNR, SSIM, diffusivity, perfusion fraction and pseudo-diffusivity respectively. The results show that the CNN-based super resolution reconstruction for IVIM has a great performance and may enable IVIM to be analyzed with unprecedent resolution.
