Hydatid cyst (HC) is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus parasites. Although the liver is the most commonly affected organs, especially the lungs being primary, spleen, peritoneum, ovaries, and such as brain may be primary or secondary placement in organs. The diagnosis of HC is made by characteristic radiographic appearance and positive serology. Ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used with success in imaging. However, together with this, HC, which is not showing characteristic symptoms, can be mixed with other cysts. In recent years, diffusion-weighted MRI, distinguishing these cysts (DW-MRI) are to investigate the role publications are available. In this paper, the role of diffusion weighted MRI in the differential diagnosis of hydatid cyst are discussed
