Capturing the arterial phase is crucial for the optimal
detection and characterization of liver tumors using
dynamic contrast enhanced imaging. Recently, TRACER, a
method for high temporal liver imaging was proposed
which uses a spiral readout in conjunction with a
non-linear reconstruction to reconstruct 3D images with
a sub-second temporal frame rate. It was demonstrated
that this reconstruction increased the likelihood of
capturing the arterial phase after bolus injection.
However, the reader is now presented with a large number
of images Here we adapt a previously proposed algorithm
to automatically select the optimal arterial phase from
a series of 3D dynamic contrast enhanced hepatic images
reconstructed with TRACER
