The current study aimed to evaluate the application of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions. The association of DKI and IVIM derived parameters were compared with pathological types, histologic grade, and Ki-67 expression of primary breast cancers. The results indicated that MD, MK, D and f are capable of distinguishing benign from malignant breast lesions. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between MD and different histologic grade and Ki-67 expression, repsectivley.
