  • Title: [Diffusion-weighted MR imaging of liver pathology: principles and clinical applications].
    Author: Lewin M, Arrivé L, Lacombe C, Vignaud A, Azizi L, Raynal M, Jomaah N, Monnier-Cholley L, Tubiana J, Menu Y.
    Journal: J Radiol; 2010 Jan; 91(1 Pt 1):11-26. PubMed ID: 20212373.
    Abstract:
    Due to ongoing technological advances, the range of clinical applications for diffusion-weighted MR imaging has expanded to now include abdominal pathology. Current applications for liver pathology include two main directions. First, oncologic imaging with detection, characterization and follow-up of lesions. Second, evaluation of diffuse liver diseases, including hepatic fibrosis. The diagnostic impact and role of diffusion-weighted MR imaging remain under investigation, but appear promising. Because of its short acquisition time, sensitivity, and additional information it provides, diffusion-weighted MR imaging should be included in routine liver imaging protocols.
