Quantitative analysis of IVIM effect revels both diffusion and perfusion component of tissue. As widely used bi-exponential model is not very reliable, we propose two penalty function: a) Total Variation and b) Huber Penalty function with bi-exponential model for IVIM parametric analysis of soft tissue tumours. Results show better fit to IVIM dataset by our two methods compared to standard BE model and freeware Osirix. IVIM analysis using Total Variation Reduction methodology showed qualitatively and quantitatively better estimation of both perfusion and diffusion component in soft tissue tumours.
