Adequate hepatocellular enhancement (HCE) in Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI studies can often deviate from the standard delay of 20 minutes. In this study, we proposed a fully-automated CNN-based approach for real-time assessment of HCE adequacy and retrospectively evaluated performance using 1201 T1w HBP 3D image sets from 406 unique patients. Our proposed model classified images with inadequate uptake with an AUC of 97%. With further validation, this approach could be used to identify the earliest time point HCE adequacy is achieved, potentially shortening scanning time by tailoring the exam length to the individual liver’s ability to uptake contrast.
