Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-derived perfusion fraction mapping for the visual evaluation of MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroi... by Derk J. Slotman, Lambertus W. Bartels, Ingrid M. Nijholt, Martijn Froeling, Judith A. F. Huirne, Chrit T.W Moonen, Martijn F. Boomsma

“…Background A method for periprocedural contrast agent-free visualization of uterine fibroid perfusion could potentially shorten magnetic resonance-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU) treatment times and improve outcomes. Our goal was to test feasibility of perfusion fraction mapping by intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) modeling using diffusion-weighted MRI as method for visual evaluation of MR-HIFU treatment progression.Methods Conventional and T2-corrected IVIM-derived perfusion fraction maps were retrospectively calculated by applying two fitting methods to diffusion-weighted MRI data (b = 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600 and 800 s/mm2 at 1.5 T) from forty-four premenopausal women who underwent MR-HIFU ablation treatment of uterine fibroids. …”
