“…Recently we reported that, for the liver, IVIM modeling of the perfusion component is constrained by the diffusion component, and a reduced D slow measure leads to artificially higher PF and D fast measures (3). In this study of 26 male volunteers (age: 22-69 years) and 36 female volunteers (age: 20-71 years), we demonstrated an age-dependent liver D slow decline, which is expected to be caused by an agedependent iron deposition increase, an age-dependent fat deposition increase, and also a reduction of vasculature in the healthy aging livers.…”
