Excerpt

The increasing radiological awareness about intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM) is reflected in this month’s issue of Neuroradiology. Hauser et al. [1] following hard on the heels of previous work [2] contribute substantially to the accumulating evidence for the utility of IVIM in tissue characterization. Several studies in abdominal imaging, where the theoretical principles of IVIM are verified in vivo in a satisfactory way [3], spearheaded the translation of IVIM into clinical applications after some time of hibernation. …
