Although the IPC supposedly changes regional muscle functions, this mechanism has not been clarified. Therefore, to quantitatively assess the effect of IPC, we simultaneously acquired functional information on diffusion, perfusion, and transverse relaxation time (T2) for lower-leg muscles before and after IPC using single-shot diffusion echo-planar imaging (SSD-EPI) with different b-values and echo times (TE). IPC reduces water molecule diffusion in the soleus muscle. Our method makes it possible to simultaneously obtain regional functional information on diffusion, perfusion, and T2 in lower-leg muscles before and after IPC.
