Early detection treatment response for head and neck carcinomas using intravoxel incoherent motion-magnetic resonance imaging: a meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The diffusion-related coefficients pre-treatment D and △D demonstrated good accuracy in predicting early treatment response in HNSCC patients. However, because of the variability in reference test and other limitations of included literature, further investigation is needed before implementing any IVIM strategy into clinical practice.
