MR measurements based on motion encoding gradients, such as intravoxel incoherent
motion imaging, could provide, in principle, information on flowing blood volume and blood
velocity. This note shows that, in addition, the knowledge of the capillary network
organization may provide a link between these measurements and those obtained by
conventional and MR perfusion techniques based on tracer uptake by tissues.
