So, it is very important to accurately distinguish between these two tumors before therapy is planned. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the FA value of DTI and the ADC value of DWI in ICC and HCC. 
Fig 1: Patient, male, 57 years old, ICC in the caudate lobe of liver. A-C: shows the T1W image (hypointense), T2W image (hyperintense), and DWI image (hyperintense) respectively. D-F: shows ADC image of DWI, D, and FA image of DTI respectively. The ADC, D, and FA values were 1.155×10-9m2/s, 1.465×10-9m2/s, and 0.571.
Fig 2: Patient, male, 62 years old, HCC in the right lobe of liver. A-C: shows the T1W image (hypointense), T2W image (hyperintense), and DWI image (hyperintense) respectively. D-F: shows ADC image of DWI, D, and FA image of DTI respectively. The ADC, D and FA values were 1.350×10-9m2/s, 1.655×10-9m2/s, and 0.399.
