Keywords: Muscle, Diffusion/other diffusion imaging techniquesAssessment of microcirculation is extremely important in skeletal muscle aging reasearch. While IVIM can provide extremely valuable information on perfusion, this is usually dominated by flow in larger vessel, resulting in limited sensitivity to microcirculation. In this study we propose the use of flow and non-flow-compensated diffusion encoding waveforms for IVIM of skeletal muscle. Using this approach we show diffrences in IVIM parameters between younger and older adults, and show correlation between the difference in IVIM parameters and age
