We aim to explore the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in differentiating high-grade glioma (HGG) and solitary brain metastasis (SBM) by using histogram and first-order texture analysis in combination with the structural lesion feature. Results showed there were significant higher skewness (Dfast, f) and kurtosis (Dslow, f), and significant lower entropy (Dslow, f) and mean (f) in HGG solid tumor region as well as significant lower mean (f) in HGG peritumoral edema zone. Clear tumor margin in T2-weighted imaging help improve the differentiation when integrated with the IVIM parametric values.
