| Abstract | The free Gaussian process of water diffusion assumed in conventional DTI was found to not apply with increase of diffusion strength. In this study, effect of b-value on detecting myocardial structural alteration was assessed in infarcted rabbit models. Non-monoexponential diffusion manner was confirmed in both infarct and control groups. FA and radial diffusivity were found to alter significantly in infarct and/or adjacent regions, and the sensitivity to detect their statistical differences among all the groups were b-value dependent with the greatest total number of statistical significances occurred at b-values of 750 to 2000 s/mm2. The study demonstrated the important effect of diffusion strength on DTI index characterization and emphasized the necessity of optimizing b-value for better monitoring and detecting myocardial structural degradation. |
