Systematic analysis of the intravoxel incoherent motion threshold separating perfusion and diffusion effects: Proposal of a standardized algorithm.

abstract：:We constructed a device to compress small samples of articular cartilage while the samples were imaged in a 1.5 T imager. With the use of a piezoelectric piston, the device compressed 1-cm-diameter cylindrical samples of articular cartilage (200 microm) at a rate of 2 Hz. Simultaneously, we imaged the samples with a d...
