PET/CT plays an important role in diagnosis and assessment of treatment response in lymphoma. The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of IVIM-DKI parameters in comparison to PET parameters in lymphoma. PET images were registered onto IVIM-DKI at b=0s/mm² images for tumor ROI using 3D-multimodal affine registration. Qualitatively, IVIM parameters with state-of-the-art Total-Variation produced better quality parameter maps. Tumor appeared hyperintense in SUV and K maps and hypointense in diffusion and perfusion parameters. No correlation was observed between IVIM-DKI with PET parameters. IVIM with Total-Variation showed substantial reproducibility as compared to conventional IVIM, DKI and SUV parameters.
