Abstract:
PURPOSE:To clarify the clinical usefulness of breath-hold compressed sensing three-dimensional magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (BH-MRCP) added to conventional respiratory-gating MRCP (RG-MRCP), we prospectively evaluated the image quality of BH-MRCP and compared it with that of RG-MRCP. We also evaluated to what extent the overall image quality was improved by adding BH-MRCP to RG-MRCP. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 113 patients who underwent RG-MRCP and BH-MRCP at a 3-T MR unit were enrolled. We set a scan time of approximately 180 s for RG-MRCP and 20 s for BH-MRCP before examination, and measured actual scan time and assessed image quality using a 5-point scale (5, good; 1, poor). Image quality scores of 1, 2 and 3 were considered clinically inadequate. Image quality scores of RG-MRCP and BH-MRCP were compared. In addition, we compared "RG-MRCP alone" and "hybrid MRCP" (the best-scoring image was picked from RG-MRCP and BH-MRCP when the RG-MRCP score was clinically inadequate). RESULTS:The mean actual scan time of RG-MRCP/BH-MRCP was 191/20 s. The mean scores of RG-MRCP, BH-MRCP and hybrid MRCP were 3.67, 3.35 and 3.92, respectively. The score of hybrid MRCP was significantly better than that of RG-MRCP (P < 0.05). The image quality of RG-MRCP was clinically inadequate in 43/113 (38 %) cases and the inadequate image quality was improved to be clinically adequate in 13/43 (30 %) cases by adding BH-MRCP. CONCLUSION:BH-MRCP brings added value to RG-MRCP because an additional examination of BH-MRCP could compensate for the image deterioration of RG-MRCP caused by motion artifacts.
