Free-breathing radial volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination vs breath-hold cartesian volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination magnetic resonance imaging of the liver at 1.5T

Figure 5 Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen in a 61-year-old female with breast cancer performed to further characterize an incidentally-detected left adrenal nodule. Axial pre-contrast rVIBE (A), pre-contrast cVIBE (B), post-contrast rVIBE (C), and post-contrast cVIBE (D) images show good -quality images for all four sequences. The pre-contrast rVIBE image again produced a smooth radiating artifact (white arrow) in the liver. VIBE: Volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination; rVIBE: Radial VIBE; cVIBE: Cartesian VIBE.
