The authors explore the current state and future potential of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the liver, particularly its role in detecting and characterizing lesions, assessing diffuse parenchymal disease, and monitoring cancer treatment responses. They highlight the advantages of DWI as a cost-effective imaging strategy while acknowledging the technical challenges that remain. The review aims to elucidate how DWI can enhance liver imaging practices and its implications for clinical applications.
