To demonstrate the feasibility of intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM) for quantification of perfusion changes in the parotid gland after gustatory stimulation.
Eight healthy volunteers underwent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck at 3T with 11 dynamic acquisitions (9 b-values between 0 and 980 s/mm , 2:40 min each). After 5:20 minutes, a lemon-mint-drop was administered orally. Perfusion fraction (F ), pseudodiffusion (D*), tissue diffusion (D ) coefficients, and optimal b-value threshold were measured using a multistep variable b-value threshold fitting approach. Dynamic changes in the coefficients between three exemplary timepoints (baseline, after stimulation, after dissolution) were compared using a Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction (P < 0.016 significance level).
Mean values (95% confidence interval [CI]) for IVIM parameters at baseline were F : 0.11 (0.08-0.15), D*: 56.48 mm /s (39.71-98.27), D : 1.01 mm /s (0.84-1.06), b-value threshold: 30 s/mm (21.25-105). After stimulation: F 0.16 (0.15-0.24; P < 0.01), D* 93.83 mm /s (77.98-129.53, P = 0.25), D 0.93 mm /s (0.87-1.08, P = 0.94), b-value threshold 20 s/mm (13.75-26.25 s/mm , P = 0.10), reflecting the increase in tissue perfusion. After dissolution of the drop: F : 0.13 (0.11-0.18, P = 0.38), D*: 101.61 mm /s (90.68-144.55, P = 0.07), D : 0.91 mm /s (0.85-1.05, P = 0.64), b-value threshold: 15 s/mm (11.25-40, P = 0.38).
The IVIM method allows for simultaneous quantification of changes in perfusion and diffusion effects after gustatory stimulation of the parotid gland.

探讨体素内不相干运动成像(IVIM)用于量化味觉刺激后腮腺灌注变化的可行性。
8名健康志愿者在3T条件下接受颈部扩散加权磁共振成像(MRI)检查,共进行11次动态采集(9个b值,范围为0至980 s/mm²,每次采集时间为2分40秒)。5分20秒后,口服柠檬薄荷糖。采用多步可变b值阈值拟合方法测量灌注分数(F)、伪扩散系数(D*)、组织扩散系数(D)以及最佳b值阈值。使用Mann-Whitney U检验并进行Bonferroni校正(显著性水平P < 0.016),比较三个典型时间点(基线、刺激后、溶解后)系数的动态变化。
基线时IVIM参数的平均值(95%置信区间[CI])为:F:0.11(0.08 - 0.15),D*:56.48 mm²/s(39.71 - 98.27),D:1.01 mm²/s(0.84 - 1.06),b值阈值:30 s/mm²(21.25 - 105)。刺激后:F为0.16(0.15 - 0.24;P < 0.01),D为93.83 mm²/s(77.98 - 129.53,P = 0.25),D为0.93 mm²/s(0.87 - 1.08,P = 0.94),b值阈值为20 s/mm²(13.75 - 26.25 s/mm²,P = 0.10),反映了组织灌注增加。糖溶解后:F:0.13(0.11 - 0.18,P = 0.38),D:101.61 mm²/s(90.68 - 144.55,P = 0.07),D:0.91 mm²/s(0.85 - 1.05,P = 0.64),b值阈值:15 s/mm²(11.25 - 40,P = 0.38)。
IVIM方法可同时量化味觉刺激后腮腺灌注和扩散效应的变化。
