Estimating perfusion metrics in healthy and cirrhotic liver with pharmacokinetic modeling of high temporal resolution reconstruction of continuously acquired free-breathing Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced acquisition in patients undergoing clinically indicated liver MRI. In this HIPAA compliant prospective study, nine cirrhotic and ten non-cirrhotic patients underwent clinical MRI which included continuously acquired radial stack-of-stars 3-D GRE sequence with golden-angle ordering scheme in free-breathing during contrast injection. 1904 radial spokes were acquired continuously in 318-340 seconds. High temporal resolution data sets were formed by grouping 13 spokes per frame for temporal resolution of 2.2-2.4 second, which were reconstructed using the GRASP (Golden-angle RAdial Sparse Parallel) technique that combines compressed sensing and parallel imaging. High temporal resolution reconstructions were evaluated by a board-certified radiologist to generate gadolinium concentration-time curves in the aorta (AIF), portal vein (VIF), and liver which were fitted to dual-input dual-compartment model to estimate liver perfusion metrics; which were compared between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic livers. Cirrhotic livers had significantly lower total plasma flow (70.1±10.1 versus 103.1±24.3 ml/min/100ml; p< 0.05), lower portal venous flow (33.4±17.7 versus 89.9±20.8ml/min/100ml; p< 0.05), and higher arterial perfusion fraction (52.0± 23.4versus 12.4±7.1%; p<0.05). The mean transit time (MTT) was higher in cirrhotics (24.4±4.7 versus 15.7±3.4 sec; p<0.05), and hepatocellular uptake rate (Ki) was lower (3.03 ±2.1 versus 6.53± 2.4 /100/min; p<0.05). Liver perfusion can be estimated from free-breathing dynamic acquisition performed for every clinical exam without additional contrast injection or time. This is a novel paradigm for dynamic liver imaging.
