The IVIM model was compared with the mono-exponential model to be used to differentiate sRI from non-sRI in this study. Results indicated that IVIM contributed little to improving the differentiation, therefore the mono-exponential model based ADC, a combination of fast and slow diffusion, might be more suitable as a biomarker image for assessing renal dysfunction.
