Role of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in evaluation of hepatic focal lesions

Conclusion In conclusion, DW MRI alone performs equally well as Gd-MRI in detection and differentiation of different hepatic focal lesions. In cases where gadolinium injection is not allowed, dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging can be replaced by a protocol based on unenhanced T1 and T2 weighted imaging combined with DWI. Adding DWI to Gd-MRI is more accurate.
