Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI plays an important role in the assessment of hepatic diseases. Hepatobiliary phase image has an amazing tissue contrast for the lesions with or without functional hepatocytes, however, which 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. Our results demonstrated that Compressed-SENSE technique enabled significant reduction of acquisition time without image quality degradation resulting in higher spatial resolution and excellent image quality compared with conventional method.
