Example of IVIM parametric maps in a 64 year-old male patient with chronic hepatitis C. Parameters were derived using 16, 12, 8 and 4 b-values with distributions given in Table 3. Similar parametric maps were observed in the liver. Parameter values from ROI analysis were D = 1.12, 1.13, 1.12 and 1.08 10−3 mm2/s, PF = 11.8, 12.4, 12.0 and 14.0 %, and D* = 87.5, 78.1, 106.3 and 78.1 10−3 mm2/s for the 16, 12, 8 and 4 b-value acquisitions respectively.
