Synopsis
Optimization of b-values in IVIM-DKI is required for parameter estimation accuracy. IVIM-DKI model with Total Variation correction approach was employed in this study, which avoids abrupt changes in parameter values and eliminates non-physiological heterogeneity in maps. In pancreatic cancer, different b-value combinations were used: 4,6,8,10, and 13b-values. In terms of accurate parameter estimations and comparable qualitative maps, 8-13 b-values exhibited a similar trend; in contrast, 4b-values indicated inaccurate and noisy maps. 8b-values can be employed in pancreatic cancer with a constrained technique for a shorter acquisition process and reduced noise in parameter maps at low SNR.
