Correlation between DDVD and IVIM parameters. Data are from 26 healthy volunteers, 4 patients without fibrosis and 12 patients with various degree of viral hepatitis type-b induced fibrosis. A moderate and significant correlation is found between DDVD vs. PF, DDVD vs. Dfast, and DDVD vs. Dslow. A shift of threshold b-value from 60 s/mm2 to 200 s/mm2 only minimally weakens the correlation (Pearson r value from 0.501 to 0.452). [Results derived from reference [79], with permission].
