TrueFISP sequence allows fast liver imaging at 1.5T with
good image quality. Its application at 3T remains
challenging due to increased banding artifacts
originating from phase dispersion. In this work a robust
free-breathing liver imaging method was developed using
TrueFISP sequence by incorporating multiple phase-cycled
acquisitions and non-rigid motion correction before
averaging. Protocol was optimized from numerical
simulation and validated from in-vivo studies. Using the
proposed method, high spatial resolution, high
blood-liver contrast, artifact-free liver images were
acquired at 3T under free breathing.
