Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) - IVIM

Quibim
Quibim’s Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) – IVIM automatically performs intra-voxel incoherent motion (IVIM) analysis to detect changes in the microstructure of tissues to assess cancer processes in clinical practice and research. The tool allows the differentiation of pure diffusion changes due to variations in the vascular component and offers additional information complementary to conventional ADC results. This suite is aimed at the characterization of tumoral processes to support early detection, diagnosis, treatment response evaluation and follow-up of patients
