Even though there is much interest in brain IVIM imaging, it is difficult to get a clear view from literature on which values to expect. Our purpose is to obtain healthy brain D, D* and f, to add findings and get closer to reference values. Two distributions of 16 b-values were used to acquire data on 10 volunteers, at 1.5T: one commonly found in literature and the other considered as optimal. Values obtained from the “optimal distribution” were significantly different in all cases but D in white matter. This study emphasizes the dependence of IVIM results on the acquisition scheme applied.
