Tumor heterogeneity could be detected non-invasively utilizing textural indicators from IVIM-DKI, which have a high potential for early prognosis of pancreatic lesions. A novel technique was investigated for tumor prediction model utilizing IVIM-DKI with total variation penalty function, in which we employed combinations of texture characteristics from IVIM-DKI parameters. In this study, texture characteristics of the kurtosis(k) parameter had the high accuracy:93% and AUC:1, and combinations of all IVIM-DKI parameters' textural features after feature reduction had accuracy:84% and AUC:0.91 for classifying benign and malignant pancreatic lesions. Whole-volumetric texture analysis of IVIM-DKI can be employed for characterization of pancreatic lesions.
