Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Diffusion-Weighted Imaging for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Correlation with Human Papillomavirus Status
ConclusionSignificant correlations were found between IVIM-DWI and HPV status in OPSCCs. The perfusion-free diffusion coefficient, Dt, may better reflect the HPV-related tumor differences compared to ADC, whereas the perfusion-related parameters were not able to reliably discriminate HPV-positive from HPV-negative OPSCC.
