The capillary network: A link between IVIM and classical perfusion
Abstract
MR measurements based on motion encoding gradients, such as intravoxel incoherent motion imaging, could provide, in principle, information on flowing blood volume and blood velocity. This note shows that, in addition, the knowledge of the capillary network organization may provide a link between these measurements and those obtained by conventional and MR perfusion techniques based on tracer uptake by tissues.

Because D* is typically much larger than D, the IVIM contribution is concentrated at very low b-values, but remains difficult to separate robustly from diffusion because fIVIM is small (around a few percent).
“In the brain, D* is typically much larger than D, so the IVIM contribution is concentrated at very low b-values, but remains difficult to separate robustly from diffusion because fIVIM is small (around a few percent) (Fig. 3) (Iima & Le Bihan, 2016; Le Bihan, 2019; Le Bihan & Turner, 1992; Le Bihan et al., 1988).”

The IVIM Approach (p. 7) gives a cat-brain-cortex example with f = 6.1 ± 0.4%, and the Conclusion (p. 7) says brain studies highlight the extreme difficulty of separating perfusion from the much larger bulk-tissue-water signal. Our copy does not state that D* is typically much larger than D or that the IVIM contribution is concentrated at very low b-values. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
