To investigate the potential benefit of second-order motion compensated (2^nd-MC) diffusion encoding scheme on intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis of the kidney, we compared the IVIM diffusion parameters and repeatability between the 2^nd-MC and conventional diffusion gradients. Our results showed that the 2^nd-MC diffusion gradients show better fitting accuracy and repeatability of IVIM diffusion parameters of the kidney compared with the conventional diffusion gradients. Therefore, the 2^nd-MC diffusion encoding scheme could enable us to reduce the bulk motion effect mainly caused by cardiac and respiratory motion during diffusion sensitization.
