Abstract

<p>In recent years, gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pantaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) has been commonly used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for liver contrast studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Hyper SENSE factor on contrast in the Gd-EOB-DTPA hepatocyte phase. The subjects were 21 patients [16 males and 5 females, aged 50–94 years (mean age 68±12years)] who underwent hepatic contrast-enhanced MRI with Gd-EOB-DTPA from March 2021 to December 2021. The contrast ratios (CRs) of liver/spleen and liver/tumor were measured when the Hyper SENSE factor was changed to 1.0, 1.4 and 1.8. As a result, there was no statistically significant difference in signal intensity and CR with the change in the Hyper SENSE factor. In this study, the acquisition time can be shortened without decreasing the CR; therefore, it was suggested to improve MR images to avoid motion artifact.</p>
