<h4>Purpose</h4>To investigate the robustness of constrained and simultaneous intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) fitting methods and the estimated IVIM parameters (D, D* and f) for applications in brain and low-perfused tissues.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Model data simulations relevant to brain and low-perfused tumor tissues were computed to assess the accuracy, relative bias, and reproducibility (CV%) of the fitting methods in estimating the IVIM parameters. The simulations were performed a ...[more]
