Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) is a diffusion-weighted imaging technique that separates the effects of microscopic perfusion and diffusion within a single voxel. This technique leverages the principles of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide quantitative measurements that can distinguish between blood flow and the random motion of water molecules in tissues. This is particularly useful in the context of cancer, where understanding tissue characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
