摘要：

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) ??“derived parameters and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) could act as imaging biomarkers for predicting antifungal treatment response. Methods: Forty-six consecutive patients (mean age, 33.9 ?± 13.0 y) with newly diagnosed invasive fungal infection (IFI) in the lung according to EORTC/MSG criteria were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 3.0 T using 11 b values (0-1000 sec/mm
