[Abstract] Objective: To explore a more suitable mathematical model describing the signal change of renal parenchyma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) induced from DWI with several b values.Materials and Methods: The images of 32 cases with CCRCC was analyzed retrospectively. Base on the conventional sequences, the signal intensity of renal parenchyma and CCRCC were measured, and the trends of signal intensity with several b values were fitted using two methods respectively, including monoexponential model (Group 1) and biexponential model (Group 2), and the quantitative index R2 was calculated. The R2 was compared between two groups using Wilcoxon test and between two tissues using Mann-Whitney test.Results: The signal intensity of two tissues declined with increased b values. The R2 was shown as median (75% CI). In tumor, the R2 is 0.97 (0.96, 1.00) in Group 1 and 1.00 (1.00, 1.00) in Group 2, and a significant difference was found (W=-253, P=0.00). In renal parenchyma, the R2 is 0.98 (0.98, 0.99) in Group 1 and 1.00 (1.00, 1.00) in Group 2, and there is a statistical difference (W=-528, P=0.00). And there are no differences between two tissues using each exponential modal (U=301.5, P=0.26, U=253.0, P=0.05, respectively).Conclusion: The biexponential function is a more suitable mathematical model for describing the signal change of renal parenchyma and CCRCC on DW imaging with several b values.
