[Abstract] Objective To investigate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating the degree of optic nerve injury in orbital tumors.Materials and Methods Twenty-five patients with space-occupying lesions confirmed by imaging examination and 12 volunteers were enrolled in this study, the difference of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), slow ADC (D), fast ADC (D*), fractional of fast ADC (f) of the affected side optic nerve and the contralateral side were compared by paired t test, parameters and the asymmetry index (AI) of parameters of optic nerve between the patient group and the control group were compared by independent sample t-test. International standard visual acuity chart was used to measure visual acuity, 11 cases were impaired visual acuity, 14 cases were not.Results The affected side optic nerve presented significantly decreased f compared to the unaffected side [f=(28.2±2.7)%, (46.4±3.0)% respectively; P=0.0015], the affected side optic nerve presented significantly decreased f compared to the control group [f=(28.2±2.7)%, (45.4±5.5)% respectively; P=0.002], the visual impaired patients presented significantly decreased D* compared to the not visual impared [D*=(26.6±7.0)×10-3 mm2/s, (62.5±11.0)×10-3 mm2/s respectively; P=0.023]; affected group optic nerve presented significantly increased AI of f compared to the control group (AI of f =0.26±0.06, 0.03±0.06 respectively; P=0.033); there was a low correlation between visual acuity and D* of affected optic nerve(r=0.462, P=0.02).Conclusions The voxel incoherent motion parameter D* was superior to the conventional single-exponential ADC in evaluating the optic nerve function damage caused by orbital tumors, and can provide more abundant information.
