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

To systematically evaluate the dependence of intravoxel‐incoherent‐motion (IVIM) parameters on the b‐value threshold separating the perfusion and diffusion compartment, and to implement and test an algorithm for the standardized computation of this threshold.
