IVIM-DKI
model with total variation(TV) penalty function reduced non-physiological
inhomogeneity in IVIM-DKI parameter adaptively to produce better quality
parameter maps. D, f, k can be used discriminate
between PCa and BPH with high diagnostic performance.
Figure2 For BPH (yellow), the hyperintense region was observed
on (b) ADC, (c) D, and (e) f; whereas hypointense region was observed on, (a)
High b-value map, (d) D*, and (f) k of a representative patient diagnosed with
PCa and BPH.

Diagnostic performance of IVIM-DKI parameters obtained from HY and HY+TV model
to differentiate from (a) Tumor vs BPH and (b) Tumor vs Healthy PZ.
