Consecutive four phases of dynamic contrast enhanced 3D T1WI in the upper abdomen could be obtained during one breath-hold in combined use of parallel imaging and compressed sensing at wide-bore 3T system. The imaging protocols with Gd-DTPA and Gd-EOB-DTPA provided good image quality. Although image contrasts with Gd-EOB-DTPA might be inferior to those with Gd-DTPA, patterns of time intensity curves with study with dynamic contrast of each protocol were similar to each other.
