To investigate the reproducibility of IVIM-derived parameters with peripheral pulse unit (PPU) triggering and optimized b values combination to decrease scan time, we assessed the reproducibility by calculating coefficient of variation (CV) for each parameter. Moreover, D* and F calculated with some b value patterns were compared to those with all b values using the Pearson correlation. Our results suggest that cardiac gating does not improve reproducibility of perfusion and diffusion parameter. F with only 4 b values (e.g. b=0-200-500-1000) can provide robust information on perfusion noninvasively with significantly shortened scan time.
