[Abstract] Objective: To compare the value between intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) parameters and ADC value in assessing the histological differentiation grade of rectal adenocarcinoma.Materials and Methods: Ninety-three patients of rectal adenocarcinoma were enrolled and were analyzed MR images retrospectively. The parameters from IVIM (D, D*, f) and ADC value were measured. All parameters between different differentiation grade of rectal adenocarcinoma were compared. ROC analysis was used to assess the diagnostic performance in distinguishing well/moderately and poorly differentiated. Spearman correlation analyses were used among the IVIM parameters and histological differentiation grade.Results: There were significant differences in terms of ADC, D and f value between different differentiation grade of rectal adenocarcinoma (P=0.032, 0.000, 0.025 respectively). D value achieved the highest AUC in distinguishing well/moderately and poorly differentiated, when a cutoff value was 2.465×10-3 mm2/s, the sensitivity and specificity were 66.7% and 79.6%. The D value exhibited a moderate relationship with differentiation grade of rectal adenocarcinoma with |r| value of 0.441. The ADC and f value exhibited a poor relationship with differentiation grade, which |r| value were 0.249 and 0.246 respectively (all P<0.05).Conclusions: Both parameters from IVIM and ADC value could be helpful in differentiating histological differentiation grade of rectal adenocarcinoma. D value achieved the better diagnostic performance.
