Development of respiratory motion-resolved hepatobiliary phase cine-magnetic resonance imaging for stereotactic body radiotherapy in liver tumor.

ABSTRACT: Cine-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to track respiratory-induced motion of the liver and tumor and assist in the accurate delineation of tumor volume. Recent developments in compressed sensitivity encoding (SENSE; CS) have accelerated temporal resolution while maintaining contrast resolution. This study aimed to develop and assess hepatobiliary phase (HBP) cine-MRI scans using CS. Phantom was imaged using cine-MRI and signal intensity (SI) and contrast ratio (CR) measured to determine the optimal flip-angle turbo field echo (TFE) prepulse delay. We performed cine-MRI in 20 patients for one minute, with images taken every 0.5 s after administration of gadoxetic acid contrast agent. Acquired images had three different acceleration factors (SENSE, CS without denoising [CS-no],
