Sliding window 3D spiral contrast enhanced MRI of the liver has been shown to significantly increase the ability to visualize the arterial phase. However, spiral imaging is prone to off-resonance artifacts. In this abstract, a time-efficient approximate algorithm for off-resonance correction was used by acquiring a single off-resonance frequency for each coil and each slice. This did not increase acquisition and reconstruction time and significantly improved image quality (p<0.0001), particularly during the arterial phase.
