The association of IVIM/non-Gaussian diffusion MRI parameters with biological feature or subtypes in breast cancer was evaluated. For 144 malignant lesions, IVIM (fIVIM,D*) and non-Gaussian diffusion (ADCo,K) parameters were estimated from DWI series with 16 b values (0-2500sec/mm²), as well as syntheticADC (sADC) (b=200,1500sec/mm²) and ADC (b=0,800sec/mm²). sADC and K values were significantly different between ER,PgR,andHer2 status (p<0.05,0.01,0.05 for sADC and p<0.05,0.05,0.05 for K). There was a significant difference of ADC values between PgRandHer2 status (p<0.05,0.01). No significant difference of IVIM was found. ADCo, sADC, and ADC showed the statistical significance in differentiating subtypes of breast cancer (p<0.05,<0.01,<0.01).
