Free-Breathing Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Imaging of the Upper Abdomen Using a Cartesian Compressed-Sensing Sequence With Hard-Gated and Motion-State-Resolved Reconstruction

Abstract

Fast fbVIBE using hg and mr reconstructions is technically feasible with improved IQ compared with that of bhVIBE. Free-breathing VIBE may be useful for dynamic contrast-enhanced of the upper abdomen, particularly in older and/or severely ill patients with impaired breath-hold capabilities.
