Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) has the potential to provide both diffusion and perfusion information without an exogenous contrast agent, its application for the brain is promising, however, feasibility studies on this are relatively scarce. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of IVIM perfusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
