Synopsis
Time-dependent IVIM and non-Gaussian diffusion parameters might provide additional information over conventional DWI to evaluate features linked to tissue microstructure. Time-dependent IVIM and non-Gaussian diffusion parameters were evaluated both in-vivo and post-mortem in MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer) and B16 (melanoma) models. As expected, fIVIM values significantly dropped from in-vivo to post-mortem conditions with both models at two different diffusion times, confirming the association between fIVIM and tumor perfusion, but did not reach 0, suggesting limitations in the IVIM/non-Gaussian Kurtosis model. ADCo values significantly decreased at long diffusion times and upon sacrification while Kurtosis moderately increased.
