The purposes of this study were to prospectively evaluate the clinical feasibility of a MRCP protocol using both Vital Eye and compressed SENSE(CS-VE-MRCP) and to compare its performance with original navigator-triggered (NT) CS-NT-MRCP and NT-MRCP. The results show that the imaging quality and diagnostic performance of CS-VE-MRCP was comparable to that of NT-MRCP and slightly superior than that of CS-NT-MRCP. Besides, the scan time of CS-VE-MRCP was significantly decreased compared to that of NT-MRCP. The combination of compressed SENSE and Vital Eye in MRCP was feasible, suggesting the potential of imaging time reduction without pampering the diagnostic capability.
