Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI represents an essential part in the assessment of hepatic diseases, however, dynamic imaging especially in hepatic arterial phase is still challenging for patients with limited breath-hold capabilities. We assessed prototype sequence using optimized integrated combination with parallel imaging and compressed sensing technique (Compressed-SENSE) for liver imaging, which enabled significant reduction of acquisition time resulting in excellent image quality with less motion artifact, especially in hepatic arterial phase, compared with conventional method. Our results demonstrated the significance and usefulness of Compressed-SENSE in clinical use for gadoxetic acid-enhanced dynamic MR imaging.
