Fig. 5. Example of a diffusion signal decay in typical breast lesions. IVIM offers insights into blood microcirculation and tissue vascularity, whereas the ADC reflects both intracellular and extracellular water diffusion, providing information about tissue cellularity. Kurtosis imaging measures the deviation from Gaussian water diffusion, offering information about hindrances caused by the tissue microstructure. IVIM = intravoxel incoherent motion, ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient.
