This study aimed to investigate the role of IVIM in assessing infrapatellar fat pad high signal intensity in patients with osteoarthritis. Totally 43 patients with mild to moderate (K/L score = 1,2 and 3) KOA were included. The results show that D value, VAS, WOMAC, K/L score with T2FS-hyperintense regions were significantly higher than those without T2FS-hyperintense regions. Furthermore, D value was significantly positive associated with VAS and K/L score.
