Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI has emerged as an important method for evaluating tumor blood flow and treatment response to antivascular agents. However, it is difficult to acquire good DCE-MRI of abdomen or thorax due to the respiratory motion. To overcome the respiratory motion artifact, we evaluated the feasibility of free-breathing dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) of the abdomen and thorax at 3.0 T using CAIPIRINHA-VIBE and radial VIBE with KWIC reconstruction. Our results showed that they can overcome respiratory motion while providing high spatial and temporal resolution.
