Liver biopsy is the gold standard for assessing fibrosis but has several limitations. We evaluated a noninvasive method, so-called diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI), which measures the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water, for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in patients
## Abstract ## Purpose To determine the diagnostic performance of liver apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measured with conventional diffusionβweighted imaging (CDI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and inflammation. ## Materials and Methods Breathhold si
