The number of used b values and the b values themselves prolong scan time. Longer scan time deprives patient tolerance, increase more possibility of involuntary movement, and thus limits the application value of IVIM technology. Therefore, we aimed to explore the optimal scheme of rFOV DW imaging with multiple b-values. We found no significant difference of mean ADC, D* and f values but mean D value in our patients between two different b-value schemes, suggesting optimized b-value setting was appropriate in diagnosis of cervical cancer especially for cervical squamous carcinoma.
