MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) plays an essential role in the noninvasive assessment of the biliary and pancreatic duct systems. The current respiratory-triggered three-dimensional turbo spin-echo MRCP sequence has an excellent duct-to-periductal tissue contrast, however, the long acquisition time and motion artifacts due to the various depth of patients’ breathing limit the benefit of this sequence. We assessed prototype sequence using optimized integrated combination with parallel imaging and compressed sensing technique (Compressed-SENSE) for MRCP. Our results demonstrated that Compressed-SENSE technique enabled significant reduction of acquisition time without image quality degradation compared with conventional method.
