【Abstract】 Objective To compare freebreathing (FB) and breathhold (BH) diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) technologies for solid organs in the abdomen. Methods 128 patients underwent FBDWI and BHDWI examinations were enrolled. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of normal abdominal parenchymal organs (liver, pancreas, spleen, and renal) and signaltonoise ratio (SNR) values in the same patients were measured. Results No statistically significant differences were identified in ADC values of the abdominal organs between FBDWI and BHDWI (P＞005). However, there were statistically significant differences between SNR values of the organs on FBDWI and BHDWI sequences，and SNRs were found to be better on FBDWI than BHDWI sequences (P＜0001). Conclusion〓FHDWI not only has no influence on the ADC values measurements of abdominal parenchymal organs, but reduces image noise and increases SNR. It is worthy of clinical popularization.
