The purpose of our study was to clarify the relationship between transient severe motion in arterial phase imaging (TSMA) and changes in SpO2 after contrast media administration during gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI or CT. As the results, the decrease in SpO2 in arterial phase compared with other phases was less than 1% in both contrast media. The incidence of TSMA was 0% in iodinated contrast media and was 8.2% in gadoxetic acid, respectively. Our study suggests that the cause of TSM in dynamic gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging of the liver may be the ringing artifacts rather than the respiratory-related motion artifacts.
