Abstract:
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging can be used to evaluate the diffusion of water molecules and microcirculation perfusion in vivo by using a biexponential model with multiple b-values. IVIM has been used to differential diagnose breast benign and malignant lesions, evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and IVIM parameters maybe relate to molecular subtypes and prognostic factors of breast cancer. The research progresses of IVIM in breast cancer were reviewed in this article.
