[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the feasibility of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in cerebral small vessel disease by studying microvasculature and parenchyma.Materials and Methods: Sixty-six patients with cerebral small vessel disease and thirty controls were retrospectively studied. IVIM images were used to measure the perfusion volume fraction f and parenchymal diffusivity D of the normal appearing white matter, deep grey matter, cortex and white matter hyperintensity. Group differences of them were investigated.Results: There were significant differences in the perfusion volume fraction f between two groups in the normal appearing white matter (t=2.548, P=0.011), deep grey matter (t=1.988, P<0.001) and cortex (t=2.731, P=0.023). The perfusion volume fraction f (×10-2) of patients (normal appearing white matter 2.32±0.03, deep grey matter 2.94±0.04 and cortex 2.53±0.04) is higher than that of controls (normal appearing white matter 2.21±0.03, deep grey matter 2.68±0.05 and cortex 2.41±0.04). There were significant differences in the parenchymal diffusivity D between two groups in the normal appearing white matter (t=2.003, P=0.002), deep grey matter (t=2.186, P=0.003), cortex (t=2.569, P=0.012) and white matter hyperintensity (t=2.926, P=0.031). The parenchymal diffusivity D (×10-4) of patients (normal appearing white matter 7.34±0.04, deep grey matter 7.76±0.05, cortex 7.42±0.03 and white matter hyperintensity 9.37±0.10) is higher than that of controls (normal appearing white matter 7.16±0.04, deep grey matter 7.55±0.05, cortex 7.31±0.04 and white matter hyperintensity 8.94±0.12).Conclusions: The perfusion volume fraction f and parenchymal diffusivity D of the normal appearing white matter, deep grey matter and cortex in patients with cerebral small vessel disease are significantly higher than those in controls. IVIM can show anomalies in the perfusion volume fraction f and parenchymal diffusivity D. This suggests that IVIM imaging can help to detect and monitor the progression of cerebral small vessel disease.
