A total of 163 consecutive patients underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI at 3T with two HBP protocols using the standard mDIxon-3D-GRE technique with sensitivity-encoding method (SENSE; acceleration factor (AF): 2.8, standard mDixon-GRE) and a high acceleration mDIxon-3D GRE technique using the combined compressed sensing (CS)-SENSE technique (CS-SENSE mDixon-GRE). The consensus reading revealed no significant difference in overall image quality. CS-SENSE mDixon-GRE showed higher image noise, but less motion artifact and overall artifact levels. In terms of lesion detection, reader-averaged JAFROC figures-of-merit showed non-inferior performance of CS-SENSE mDixon-GRE over standard mDixon-GRE was confirmed (JAFROC figure-of-merits difference: 0.064 [-0.012, 0.081])
