[Abstract] The diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can reflect the degree of diffusion of water molecules in tissues without contrast enhancement. However, DWI is a mono-exponential model, which cannot separate the pseudo-diffusion from pure molecular diffusion. Intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) utilizes a double-exponential model to obtain parameters of pure water molecule diffusion and microcirculatory perfusion-related diffusion, more comprehensively and accurately reflects the complexity of the microstructure of the tumor tissue. In recent years, the application of IVIM-DWI in lung has been gradually increasing and become the focus of lung functional magnetic resonance imaging research. In this paper, we mainly reviewed the technical parameters of IVIM-DWI in lung and related research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of the lung cancer.
