In the present study, we investigated the feasibility of hybrid intravoxel incoherent motion and diffusion kurtosis MR imaging in assessing brain gliomas. Our data showed that combined intravascular fraction (a surrogate measure of cerebral blood volume), diffusion coefficient (a measure of diffusivity), and diffusion kurtosis coefficient (a measure of diffusion heterogeneity) may better demarcate brain gliomas through exploration of multiple pathophysiological aspects.
