Free-breathing DCE-MRI of the liver is feasible using a Cartesian acquisition with self-navigation and hard-gated reconstruction in oncological patients. Compared to a standard BH-VIBE, image quality was rated marginally lower but with useful robustness regarding breathing artifacts. Therefore, the proposed sequence is a promising alternative in patients who cannot comply with breathing commands, like children or elderly patients.
