| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, we evaluated the feasibility of IVIM for maxillofacial mass lesions preliminary for its application to the tongue cancer. Diffusion-weighted images of 33 patients with the tumors (10 benign and 23 malignant) in maxillofacial regions were evaluated. Using the IVIM technique, parameters (D, true diffusion coefficient; f, perfusion fraction; D*, pseudo-diffusion coefficient) were calculated for each lesion. ADC values were also measured, and IVIM parameters and ADC values in benign and malignant tumors were compared. We obtained the result that the technique of combining IVIM parameters (D and D*) could provide high accuracy for the predicting malignancy, in comparison with ADC.
