[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the postoperative early response and short-term prognosis value of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) quantitative parameters for the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated by transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Materials and Methods: Ninety patients with biopsy-proven or clinical diagnostic HCC underwent IVIM-DWI on a 3.0 T MR scanner before TACE, and 90 HCC patients took the same MR scan one month after TACE. The quantitative parameters were measured on the maximal tumor region, including D, D* and f value before and after TACE. The patients were divided into progress group and stable group based on mRECIST as criterion. All data were statistically analyzed.Results: There were significant differences between progress group and the stable group in D and D* values of the tumor before TACE (P<0.05, respectively). One month after TACE, the ΔD and ΔD* values of the tumor had significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05, respectively). The D and D* values of tumors had significant differences before and after TACE (P<0.05, respectively).Conclusion: The D, D* values of the IVIM-DWI could predict the efficacy before TACE in HCC patients. Furthermore, the IVIM-DWI as a noninvasive method might evaluate the early response after TACE in HCC patients.
