This study aimed to explore the correlations between parameters derived from standard diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) with the Ki-67 proliferation status. Our preliminary study shows that DWI-derived parameters from different models are capable of providing different pathophysiological information. DWI, DKI and IVIM parameters are associated with Ki-67 proliferation status. Kmax derived from DKI is the strongest independent factor for the prediction of Ki-67 proliferation status.
