The purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of dynamic
Gd-contrast study using fast 3D imaging sequence, DISCO
under free-breathing with navigator technique for
evaluation of pancreatobiliary diseases including the
liver. Dynamic contrast MR imaging of the
pancreatohepatobiliary regions could be performed under
free-breathing with acceptable image quality and
temporal resolutions. This technique may be useful for
evaluations of the patients who cannot hold their
breaths such as elderly patients, unconscious patients
or children and may improve information acquired from
single MR study with contrast medium.
