IVIM-DWI, intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging; GR, good response; PR, poor response; D, pure diffusion coefficient; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient; AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; apostD vs ∆%ADC, b∆%ADC vs ∆%D, cpostD vs ∆%D.
