Core Tip The current application of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is reviewed. DWI has some potential as an imaging biomarker for fibrosis, tumor detection/characterization, and following/predicting therapy. However, some limitations remain in terms of lesion characterization and fibrosis detection. To improve reliability including accuracy and reproducibility, researchers have validated this new technique in terms of image acquisition, data sampling, and analysis.
