IVIM-DTI imaging is capable of revealing both structural and functional maps. We conduct this study to address the long acquisition time of IVIM-DTI imaging and the inaccuracy of estimates of the model’s outputs. Diffusion-weighted images were acquired at 11 b-values and 64 orientations. We used the Kalman filter to reach higher accuracy in a lower number of images. The resulting maps indicated that diffusion maps and pseudodiffusion maps for a healthy case are of highly visual similarity. Our results also confirmed that achieving a good accuracy is possible with just half number of images.
