Congratulations to Christoph Stuprich and colleagues on the recently published paper “Velocity-compensated intravoxel incoherent motion of the human calf muscle”!

The aim of the study was to determine whether intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) better describes blood perfusion in muscles when pseudo-diffusion or ballistic motion is assumed. The results show that velocity-compensated diffusion gradients significantly suppress the IVIM effects in the calf muscles and indicate that the ballistic limit is largely reached, which is supported by the time dependence of the pseudo-diffusion coefficient.
