Abstract

BACKGROUND: The diffusion and perfusion parameters derived from intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging provide promising biomarkers for noninvasively quantifying and managing various diseases. Nevertheless, due to the distribution gap between simulated and real datasets, the out-of-distribution (OOD) problem occurred in supervised learning-based methods degrades their performance and hinders their real applications.
