Research Abstract

In the analysis of diffusion-weighted images of the maxillofacial area, it was possible to clarify the characteristics of lesions in the maxillofacial area using the monoexponential model, IVIM model, and gamma distribution model. Parameters derived from the gamma distribution were considered to reflect pathology. In addition, it was found that there is a good correlation with the parameters of I V I M, and that there is a complementary relationship. From pharmacokinetic analysis based on dynamic imaging and model analysis of diffusion-weighted images, the ratio of cells and stroma correlated with diffusion in vivo. Correlation was found in parameters related to blood flow information, but the correlation coefficient was not very high. From this, it was considered necessary to consider the results of each of the two imaging methods as diagnostic criteria.
