Abstract
Diffusion-Weighted-Imaging (DWI) assesses proton motion on a cellular scale. Owing to recent instrumentation developments, diffusion sequences are now routinely used for liver imaging. This review will go through the physical principles that underlie this technique, and then highlight up-to-date liver applications including quantification of liver fibrosis, focal lesions detection and characterization, and therapy response monitoring.
