New Imaging Strategies Using a Motion-Resistant Liver Sequence in Uncooperative Patients

Figure 1

MR images obtained in a 67-year-old man. Standard T1-weighted 2D SGE in-phase (a) and out-of-phase (b) images show severe motion artifacts caused by his breathing. The motion-resistant protocol using axial T1-weighted 2D MP-RAGE in-phase (c) and T1-weighted 2D MP-RAGE out-of-phase (d) images demonstrate substantially reduced artifacts and motion-free, high-quality images in this patient.
