This work is to analyze the respiratory waveforms from dynamic liver MR images related to the motion artifacts in arterial phase images induced by the contrast-media administration. The discriminative metrics were defined to quantify the likelihood of the acutely and temporally impaired breath-holding by the subjects who received gadoxetate disodium and gadobenate dimeglumine contrast agents. Our preliminary results show that the indicative metrics derived from recorded respiratory waveforms objectively confirm prior reported observations that gadoxetate disodium has a significantly higher likelihood of inducing acute transient breath-holding difficulties that adversely affect arterial phase image quality.
