Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) Imaging at Different Magnetic Field Strengths: What is Feasible?

Summary, in English

Due to limited SNR the cerebral applications of the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) concept have been sparse. MRI hardware developments have resulted in improved SNR and this may justify a reassessment of IVIM imaging for non-invasive quantification of the cerebral blood volume (CBV) as a first step towards determining the optimal field strength.
