abstract = {To find an optimized b-value distribution for reproducible
triexponential intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) exams in
the liver.A numeric optimization of b-value distributions
was performed using the triexponential IVIM equation and 27
different IVIM parameter sets. Starting with an initially
optimized distribution of 6 b-values, the number of b-values
was increased stepwise. Each new b-value was chosen from a
set of 64 predefined b-values based on the computed summed
relative mean error of the fitted triexponential IVIM
parameters. This process was repeated for up to 100
b-values. In simulations and in vivo measurements, optimized
b-value distributions were compared to 4 representative
distributions found in literature.The first 16 optimized
b-values were 0, 0.3, 0.3, 70, 200, 800, 70, 1, 3.5, 5, 70,
1.2, 6, 45, 1.5, and 60 in units of s/mm2 . Low b-values
were much more frequent than high b-values. The optimized
b-value distribution resulted in a higher fit stability
compared to distributions used in literature in both,
simulation and in vivo measurements. Using more than 6
b-values, ideally 16 or more, increased the fit stability
considerably.Using optimized b-values, the fit uncertainty
in triexponential IVIM can be largely reduced. Ideally, 16
or more b-values should be acquired.},
