Diffusion
weighted imaging is originally sensitive to all types of motions of the
spins, including both diffusion and perfusion. Simultaneous perfusion
measurement may be still possible by inclusion of sampling with low b-values.
DWI was performed with low and high b-values in order to quantify and
characterize perfusion contributions using DWI at 1.5T and 3T.
