IVIM imaging is not in clinical use for many years as
the parameter estimation has been noisy and had poor diagnostic accuracy. Regularization
based IVIM methods has been developed and radiologist rating is evaluated for
clinical interpretation and diagnostic accuracy in osteosarcoma.

Percentage of frequency of qualitative scores in
5-point scale (Excellent:5; Good:4; Fair:3; Poor:2 and Uninterpretable:1) for
four criteria for qualitative evaluation of IVIM parametric maps evaluated by
five IVIM analysis methodologies a) BE, b) BEseg-2, c)BEseg-1, d)BE+TV
and e) BE+HPF.

analysis methodologies and Friedman test statistics for statistical
significance (p<0.05). Scores
are in mean± standard deviation.
