a

The b-value (in µs/µm2) sets were used for the monoexponential model except the last row which used IVIM model;

b

ADCIVIM represents the IVIM model ADC;

c

Two-tailed paired t-test with ADCIVIM mean values of the active tumour volumes of the scans;

d

CV, coefficient of variation;

e

Not significantly different intra-scan CV of ADC values of the active tumour volumes compared to that of IVIM (two-tailed paired t-test).
