Core Tip	Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) quantitatively measures information related to pure water molecule diffusion and microcirculation perfusion using a biexponential model, thus compensating for the shortcomings of traditional DWI. The number of studies assessing IVIM-DWI in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has gradually increased over the last few years. This review, which is based on the literature, identified an imaging biomarker for HCC differentiation, pathological grading, predicting and evaluating the treatment response, predicting postoperative recurrence and predicting gene expression prediction. The results of this analysis show that IVIM-DWI has important value in the treatment and diagnosis of HCC.
