- Abstract
- Objectives To evaluate the recall rate and performance of free-breathing T1W dynamic imaging in patients who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI.Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent free-breathing dynamic T1WI liver MRI using Cartesian (XD-VIBE) or self-gated radial (SG-GRASP) sequences at two institutions. Four radiologists independently reviewed the overall image quality, streak, and motion artifacts for precontrast, arterial, and portal venous phases on a 4-point scale. Hepatic observations were annotated and assessed according to LI-RADS v2018.Results In total, 360 patients were included (XD-VIBE [n = 253], SG-GRASP [n = 107]). The overall image quality of free-breathing T1WI was 3.4 +/- 0.4, 3.2 +/- 0.4, and 3.5 +/- 0.4 for precontrast, arterial, and portal venous phases, respectively. The actual recall rate was 0.6% (2/360). The SG-GRASP group showed fewer motion artifacts and more streak artifacts than the XD-VIBE group in all phases (p < 0.001 for all). The overall image quality was not significantly different between the two sequences in arterial (3.2 +/- 0.4 in both, p = 0.607) and portal venous phases (3.5 +/- 0.4 in XD-VIBE, 3.4 +/- 0.4 in SG-GRASP, p = 0.214). Two sequences did not show significant differences in the lesion detection rate (figure of merit, FOM: 0.67 vs. 0.68, p = 0.876) or diagnostic performance for hepatocellular carcinoma (FOM: 0.55 vs. 0.62, p = 0.105).Conclusions Both XD-VIBE and SG-GRASP provided sufficient image quality for patients at risk of developing motion artifacts, without significant differences in image quality or the lesion detection rate between sequences.
