The Time-Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulses (Time-SLIP) technique was used to perform non-contrast enhanced hepatic portal vein imaging using 3D TRANCE and 3D Balanced FFE methods respectively, and the image quality obtained by the two imaging methods and the number of branches of hepatic portal vein were compared specifically. Both 3D TRANCE and 3D Balanced FFE imaging methods with Time-SLIP can be used for hepatic portal vein imaging. The image quality of hepatic portal vein obtained by 3D TRANCE was generally better than 3D Balanced FFE.
