Purpose  The aim of this study was to investigate the value of biochemical profile of cyst fluid and diffusion‐weighted imaging ( DWI ) in differentiating hepatic hydatid cysts ( HC s) from liver simple cysts.    Materials and methods  Forty‐six patients underwent  MR  imaging. Twenty‐nine patients had 29 hydatid cysts and 17 patients had liver simple cysts. Thirteen patients with hydatid cysts and seven patients with liver simple cysts were evaluated with cyst fluid biochemical analysis. The concentration of glucose, protein, calcium ion (Ca 2+ ) electrolyte, macroscopic appearance, and parasitological sediment were evaluated in this study.    Results  In the respect of biochemical analysis cyst fluid, the concentration of glucose and calcium ion of  HC s was significantly higher than that of the liver simple cysts. In the respect of  DWI , in the  b  1000 s/mm 2  value in respect of mean application data center (ADC) values, there was a statistically significant difference between  HC s group (the mean value was (2.50±0.79)×10 −3  mm/s 2 ) and liver simple cysts group (the mean value was (2.92±0.66)×10 −3  mm/s 2 ). However, no statistically significant results were obtained in the  ADC  measurements of  b  500 s/mm 2  between two groups.    Conclusion  The analysis of cyst fluid combined with the measurement of  ADC  values in the  b  1000 s/mm 2  value could be considered a promising parameter as an alternative to the differential diagnosis of hepatic hydatid cysts from liver simple cysts.
