Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation heatmap between morphological parameters and functional parameters. The color intensity in the heatmap indicates the strength and direction of the correlation between the parameters. Darker colors typically represent stronger correlations, whether positive (blue) or negative (red). Asterisks on the heatmap cells denote the significance of the correlation. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. BMI, body mass index; FN, follicle counted on MRI; OV, ovarian volume calculated on MRI; FN-US: follicle count by ultrasound; ADC: apparent diffusion coefficient; D, true diffusion coefficient; D*, pseudo-diffusion coefficient; f: perfusion fraction; LH, luteinizing hormone; FSH, follicle stimulating hormone; IVIM, intravoxel incoherent motion; PCOS, polycystic ovary syndrome.
Article Snippet: To reduce artifacts and calculation errors, an upper limit for D* was set at 170 s/mm 2 based on the settings of Siemens IVIM post-processing software.
Techniques: Functional Assay, Diffusion-based Assay
