Popis: The diagnostic efficiency of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with different b-values and application of an intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model for differentiating disease states of lymphoma was investigated. Thirty-six patients at initial diagnosis and 69 after chemotherapy underwent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) with multiple b-values. Analysis parameters included the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for each b-value. Standard ADC, D, D∗, and f were calculated using an IVIM model. For patients at initial diagnosis, compared with aggressive lymphomas, the benign lymph nodes exhibited higher mean ADC (2.34 vs 0.66 × 10−3 mm2/s, P
