Based on Brownian motion, diffusion statement of proton hydro inside body is one of the most important variables affected on the diagnosis, treatment planning, and disease response to treatment. There are some different kinds of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging types such as diffusion-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, diffusion kurtosis imaging, intravoxel incoherent motion imaging, zoom diffusion imaging, and diffusion spectrum imaging. In this short communication, we aimed to introduce clinical applications of these diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging types.
