Overview

A retrospective study evaluates liver PDFF and R2* mapping in pediatric patients, suggesting accurate and faster imaging techniques.

Key Points

  • To assess an accelerated free-breathing 3D MRI method for quantifying liver PDFF and R2* in pediatric patients.
  • Evaluated stack-of-radial MRI technique on retrospectively undersampled data.
  • Compared results with reference-standard self-gating reconstruction using Bland-Altman analysis.
  • Applied Bayesian posterior analysis to evaluate practical equivalence of mapping results.
  • Achieved reduced image artifacts with the proposed method.
  • Using 176 views showed lower biases for PDFF and R2* compared to using 352 views.
  • The proposed method demonstrated practical equivalence with 100% in PDFF and 98.25% in R2* ROPE, achieving a 67% time saving.
