Purpose Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) as the most common malign and benign liver tumors are both hypervascularized and potentially difficult to differentiate. DWI in liver MRI has been shown to be helpful in the classification of liver lesions, although with a substantial ADC-values-overlap. First results suggest that IVIM allows for improved characterization of liver lesions. In this study we evaluated IVIM-derived parameters in HCC and FNH with two different MR-scanners. Material and methods 72 patients (29 FNH, 43HCC) were examined prospectively using two 1.5 T-MRI scanners (Aera/MagnetomAvanto, Siemens, Germany). Quantitative analysis of IVIM-derived parameters and ADC
