The variation in fitted perfusion factors (f) from different fitting models and the necessary parameter thresholdings are one of the challenges in the robust interpretation of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion data [1-3]. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of applying constrained nonnegative matrix factorization (cNMF) to IVIM-diffusion data for the automatic segmentation of hypo-perfused stroke region of rat brain without any model-fittings nor thresholdings.
