Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model is useful tool to observe the microcirculatory perfusion, but its stability still needs to be improved. We propose the envelope bounding technique to reduce the fluctuated signal at low b-value, and use this new signal profile to fit IVIM model. This improvement gives a more stable outcome with fast diffusion (D*) and perfusion fraction (PF).
