[Abstract] Objective: To investigate intravoxel incoherent motion MR imaging (IVIM--MRI) in the preoperative T-stage of tongue carcinoma.Materials and Methods: According to the T-stage of Head and Neck Neoplasms AJCC (2010 7th), 47 cases of tongue cancer patients were divided into four groups after searching and screening. Both conventional MRI and IVIM sequences were undergone for each patient who was staged. The accuracy of two methods for T staging of tongue cancer was compared with the pathological results. The value of IVIM parameters (pure molecular diffusion coefficient (D), perfusion-related diffusion coefficient (D*), perfusion fraction (f)) were evaluated on tongue cancer preoperative T-stage by using One-Way ANOVA.Results: Estimating of the tumor preoperative T-stage, the accuracy of the IVIM-MRI was 70.2% which was more accurate than routine MRI (48.9%) and that was statistically significant (P<0.05); The differences of D values in the T-stage groups were statistically significant (P<0.05), performanced for the differences of D value both in the T1 phase tongue carcinoma and T3, 4 phase, and the T2 phase tongue carcinoma and T4 phase were statistically meaningful (P<0.05). But the differences of D* and f in the T-stage were not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion: Compared with routine MRI, IVIM-MRI has certain advantage in differentiating T-stage, and D has a certain value in the preoperative T-stage of tongue cancer.
