Abstract
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major worldwide health concern. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now preferred when further characterization of hepatic masses is needed , Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI examination has become a routine component of abdominal imaging, yet the high cost/benefit ratio and risk of contrast media side effects remain an issue. DWI (diffusion-weighted imaging) is a simple and sensitive method that enables qualitative and quantitative assessment without the use of gadolinium chelates, which makes it a highly attractive technique, particularly in patients with renal dysfunction.
