Respiratory
motion is one of the biggest confounders of liver DCE-MRI. There are methods that use a 3D radial
self-gated signal (SGS) to compensate for respiratory motion. However, SGS
includes both
respiratory motion and contrast uptake in DCE-MRI, and
it is not trivial to perfectly
separate the two from SGS,
leading to inaccuracies of respiratory motion. In this work, we propose
a method to extract the respiratory motion only from SGS using golden
angle radial acquisition with two-point Dixon
separation. The
proposed method utilizes the fact the
fat-only SGS does
not include contrast uptake while
including the same respiratory motion.
