Synopsis

This study aimed to investigate the repeatability and reliability of IVIM derived parameters in evaluation of liver heterogeneity. Patients with early liver fibrosis and healthy subjects were recruited and underwent MRI using respiratory triggered SS-DWI with 12 b values and an IDEAL-IQ sequence. Two readers independently analyzed liver segment data using mono-exponential, bi-exponential and stretched exponential models. CVs and ICCs were calculated before and after the exclusion of subjects with potential liver fat deposition. ADC, D and α measurements of right liver lobe were satisfactorily repeatable, regardless of fat deposition. Segment-VII and -VIII values may be more repeatable and reliable.
