Amide proton transfer-weighted imaging (APTWI) has unique advantages in displaying the metabolism of diseased proteins. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) method is able to obtain a variety of quantitative parameters, including D, D* and f values, which reflect the perfusion and diffusion information of the tissues. Our results show that APTWI and IVIM have similar diagnostic performance in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors.
