It is shown that in vivo measurement of bile water apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) by diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (EPI) in hamster gallbladder is possible providing motion artifact-free ADC values. These ADC values are used to estimate bile viscosity variation induced by normal diets
