Multiple b-values DWI scan was performed on all 23
patients before and 6 months after HIFU ablation of
fibroids using 3.0 T MR acquisition systems. For all
b-values no larger than 100 s/mm2 and 200 s/mm2,
mono-exponential model was used to calculate the
diffusion coefficient respectively. For all b-values,
bi- exponential IVIM model was used to calculate D, D*
and f. Fibroids diffusion increased apparently
accompanied with less microcirculation perfusion 6
months after HIFU treatments. IVIM MR imaging may serve
as a valuable tool in emphasizing such diffusion and
perfusion changes by using all b-values and/or low
b-values no larger than 100 s/mm2.
