[Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been more frequently used in abdominal imaging after recent advances in technology including parallel imaging and EPI, particularly for assessment of liver. These advances in technology have reduced examination time and artifacts. DWI is quick and can be performed in a single breath-hold. It can be easily incorporated to the conventional MRI sequences. It is useful for the evaluation of focal and diffuse liver disease and has the potential for evaluation of tumor response to treatment.]
