Objective 　To review the examination techniques and the current research progress of the magnetic resonance diffusion weighted-imaging (DWI) used in liver.
Methods 　The recent and relevant literatures about the principles and the current study situation of liver DWI were scrutinized and analyzed retrospectively. In addition, the existing problems of liver DWI were discussed.
Results 　DWI could demonstrate the normal and abnormal structure and function through measuring the diffusion motions of water molecule in the liver. With the improving technology and better understanding of diffusion dynamics, DWI has been used for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis for hepatic diseases.
Conclusion 　DWI as a non-invasive examine method, may provide valuable functional information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
