[Abstract] Objective: To preliminarily study myocardial microcirculation in diabetes patients using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging.Materials and Methods: 22 normal volunteers (10 male, mean age, 46.22±14.26 y) and 12 diabetic volunteers (6 male, mean age, 58.83±14.40 y) were enrolled in this study from May 2015 to November 2017. All of them performed CMR-IVIM on 3.0 T magnetic resonance on the middle of left ventricular short axis using multi b values (0, 20, 50, 80, 100, 120, 200, 300, 500 s/mm2). We measured IVIM parameters [apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)fast, ADCslow, f (fraction of ADCfast)] and analyzed the difference of myocardial microcirculation between normal subjects and diabetes.Results: There was no significant difference in left ventricular structural [(LVEDV (left ventricular end-diastolic volume), LVESV (left ventricular end-systolic volume), LVmass] and function [LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction), SV (stroke volume), CO (cardiac output), CI (cardiac index)] parameters between normal and diabetic subjects (P>0.05). ADCfast values in diabetic volunteers (0.12±0.02)×10-3 mm2/s were lower than normal volunteers (0.15±0.02)×10-3 mm2/s (P=0.01).Conclusions: It’s helpful to evaluate myocardial microcirculation in diabetic patients using IVIM imaging.
