In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the prevalence of artifacts during the arterial phase presumed to be related to transient severe motion during liver MRI with gadoxetic acid as well as the quality of contrast uptake during hepatobiliary phase in a single large center study. While we found a relatively high rate of motion artifacts on a single arterial phase (9.8%), it was rarely present in both arterial phases (2.3%). We also observed poor contrast uptake during hepatobiliary phase in 1.6% of cases. TSM and poor contrast uptake during HBP was found in only 0.7% of patients.
