Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The DKI-IVIM model that incorporates DKI (diffusional kurtosis imaging) into the IVIM (Intravoxel Incoherent Motion) concept was investigated to assess its utility for both enhanced diffusion characterization and perfusion measurements in ischemic stroke at 3 T. METHODS Fifteen stroke patients (71 ± 11 years old) were enrolled and DKI-IVIM analysis was performed using 9 b-values from 0 to 1500 s/mm2 chosen with the Cramer-Rao-Lower-Bound optimization approach. Pseudo-diffusion coefficient D*, perfusion fraction f, blood flow-related parameter fD*, the diffusion coefficient D and an additional parameter, the kurtosis, K were determined in the ischemic lesion and controlateral normal tissue based on a region of interest approach. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and arterial spin labelling (ASL) cerebral blood flow (CBF) parameters were also assessed and parametric maps were obtained for all parameters. RESULTS Significant differences were observed for all diffusion parameters with a significant decrease for D (p < 0.0001), ADC (p < 0.0001), and a significant increase for K (p < 0.0001) in the ischemic lesions of all patients. f decreased significantly in these regions (p = 0.0002). The fD* increase was not significant (p = 0.56). The same significant differences were found with a motion correction except for fD* (p = 0.47). CBF significantly decreased in the lesions. ADC was significantly positively correlated with D (p < 0.0001) and negatively with K (p = 0.0002); K was also negatively significantly correlated with D (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS DKI-IVIM model enables for simultaneous cerebral perfusion and enhanced diffusion characterization in an acceptable clinically acquisition time for the ischemic stroke diagnosis with the additional kurtosis factor estimation, that may better reflect the microstructure heterogeneity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives were to investigate the diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) incorporation into the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model for measurements of cerebral hypoperfusion in healthy subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight healthy subjects underwent a hyperventilation challenge with a 4-min diffusion weighted imaging protocol, using 8 b values chosen with the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound optimization approach. Four regions of interest in gray matter (GM) were analyzed with the DKI-IVIM model and the bi-exponential IVIM model, for normoventilation and hyperventilation conditions. RESULTS A significant reduction in the perfusion fraction (f) and in the product fD* of the perfusion fraction with the pseudodiffusion coefficient (D*) was found with the DKI-IVIM model, during the hyperventilation challenge. In the cerebellum GM, the percentage changes were f: -43.7 ± 40.1, p = 0.011 and fD*: -50.6 ± 32.1, p = 0.011; in thalamus GM, f: -47.7 ± 34.7, p = 0.012 and fD*: -47.2 ± 48.7, p = 0.040. In comparison, using the bi-exponential IVIM model, only a significant decrease in the parameter fD* was observed for the same regions of interest. In frontal-GM and posterior-GM, the reduction in f and fD* did not reach statistical significance, either with DKI-IVIM or the bi-exponential IVIM model. CONCLUSION When compared to the bi-exponential IVIM model, the DKI-IVIM model displays a higher sensitivity to detect changes in perfusion induced by the hyperventilation condition.
