In summary, the above-mentioned innovations help to establish a very high quality in MRI examinations of the liver. Each innovation alone, but particularly their combination, is of great value. Whereas the application of 3D sequences and navigator triggering is still confined to some sequences, parallel imaging is a universal technique to speed up the acquisition in all sequence types used for liver imaging at present. Moreover, the utilization of parallel imaging also allows increasing the spectrum of suitable sequences, as shown above with the example of diffusion-weighted EPI sequences. This outstanding and universal role of parallel imaging holds also true for the combination of parallel imaging with high-field MR systems. Future developments have to aim at new coil geometries and more refined algorithms, which might allow even higher acceleration factors also for transversally orientated acquisitions without the loss of image quality. This is of importance as this will remain the orientation of choice for liver imaging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
