Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the occurrence of transient respiratory motion artifacts (TRMAs) in multiple arterial phases on abdominal magnetic resonance (MR) images between those obtained using gadobutrol and gadoxetate disodium. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and fourteen abdominal MR examinations (101 with gadoxetate disodium, 113 with gadobutrol) were evaluated. Dynamic three-dimensional contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CAIPIRINHA-Dixon-TWIST-VIBE) including single-breath-hold six arterial phase acquisitions was performed on a 3.0-T MRI scanner. The TRMAs frequency and the mean TRMA scores were compared between patients assessed with gadoxetate disodium and those assessed with gadobutrol. In addition, the timing of TRMAs appearing for the first time was also recorded and compared between the two groups. RESULTS The mean TRMA scores in all arterial phases using gadoxetate disodium were significantly worse than in those using gadobutrol (1.49 ± 0.78 vs. 1.18 ± 0.53, P < .001). Regarding the timing of the occurrence of TRMAs, the severe TRMAs frequency after the third arterial phase was significantly higher in patients using gadoxetate disodium (10/101, 10%) than in those using gadobutrol (0/113, 0%) (P < .001). CONCLUSION In multiple-arterial-phase dynamic MRI, the TRMAs frequency when using gadoxetate disodium increased compared with gadobutrol, due to intolerable respiratory suspension after the third arterial phase.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the features of arterial enhancement pattern of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by triple-phase arterial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from 52 consecutive patients who underwent triple-phase arterial MRI using hepatocyte-specific contrast agents (Gd-EOB-DTPA) from January 2017 to October 2017, with a MR imaging diagnosis of HCC or FNH. The images were independently assessed by two blinded readers. Contrast enhancement ratio (CER) and liver-to-lesion contrast ratio (LLCR) were calculated. The lesions were classified visually and also based on the peak of LLCR into the following groups: (1) early arterial, (2) middle arterial and (3) late arterial. Data were eventually analysed using nonparametric tests. RESULTS The CER analysis showed no significant difference between HCC and FNH patients (p > 0.05). LLCRFNH were significantly higher than LLCRHCC in the early arterial (p = 0.01), but not in the middle and late arterial phases (p = 0.20 and p = 0.82, respectively). LLCRHCC presented a meaningful increase from early to middle arterial phase (p = 0.009), whereas LLCRFNH showed a decrease from middle to late arterial phase (p = 0.004). Based on the peak of LLCR, 17 (55%) FNHs were classified into early, 11 (35%) in middle and only 3 (10%) in late arterial phase groups. Similarly, 14 (34%) HCCs were categorized into early, 13 (32%) in middle and 14 (33%) in late arterial phase groups. There was a good agreement between qualitative analysis and LLCR in 85% of cases. CONCLUSION The optimal visualization of FNH has been detected in early and middle arterial phases while HCC has been best observed during middle and late arterial phases.
