Box-and-whisker plots of the diffusion and IVIM parameters in pre-breastfeeding, post-breastfeeding, and post-weaning.
(A) ADC0 (B) K (C) sADC (D) fIVIM (E) D* values.
ADC0 and sADC significantly decreased, and K and fIVIM significantly increased after breastfeeding. K in post-weaning was significantly lower than that in pre-breastfeeding breasts. Significant changes in ADC0, K, sADC, and fIVIM values were found between post-breastfeeding breasts and post-weaning breasts. Please see Table 4, Table 5 for statistical data.
