In addition to the determination of apparent diffusion coefficient, ADC(0,800), an estimation of the diffusion coefficient, D', and the perfusion fraction, f', was performed by using a simplified IVIM approach. Parameters were analyzed voxel-wise. Tumor response was assessed in a central slice by using a region of interest (ROI) covering the whole tumor. HCCs were categorized into two groups, responders and nonresponders, according to tumor size changes on first and second follow ups (if available) and changes of contrast-enhanced region on the first follow up.Results: In total, 31 HCCs were analyzed: 17 lesions were assigned to responders and 14 were to nonresponders. In responders, ADC(0,800) and D' were increased after therapy by ~30% (P=0.00004) and ~42% (P=0.00001), respectively, whereas f' was decreased by ~37% (P=0.00094). No significant changes were found in nonresponders. Responders and nonresponders were better differentiated by changes in D' than by changes in ADC(0,800) (area under the curve =0.878 vs 0.819 or 0.714, respectively).Conclusion: In patients with HCCs undergoing embolization therapy, diffusion changes were better reflected by D' than by conventional ADC(0,800), which is influenced by counteracting perfusion changes as assessed by f'.
