| Core Tip |
Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-based diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can yield diffusion and perfusion information simultaneously. The aims of this study were to compare IVIM-derived parameters with conventional DWI parameters for predicting the histological grade of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and to evaluate the correlation between the parameters and the histological grades. Sixty-two patients with surgically confirmed HCCs underwent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with twelve b values. The differences in the ADC and D values among the groups with G1, G2, and G3 histological grades of the HCCs were statistically significant (P < 0.001). The D* and f values had no significant differences among the different histological grades of the HCCs (P > 0.05). A significant correlation was obtained between the ADC, D, and D* values and the histological grades (P < 0.05). The ROC analyses demonstrated that the D and ADC values had better diagnostic performances in differentiating low-grade HCCs from high-grade HCCs. These results suggested that the IVIM-DWI parameters might be useful in assessing the differentiation grades of carcinomas, which might be helpful in predicting the patient prognoses. |
