    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To compare the occurrence of transient respiratory motion artifacts (TRMAs) in multiple arterial phases on abdominal magnetic resonance (MR) images between those obtained using gadobutrol and gadoxetate disodium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and fourteen abdominal MR examinations (101 with gadoxetate disodium, 113 with gadobutrol) were evaluated. Dynamic three-dimensional contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (CAIPIRINHA-Dixon-TWIST-VIBE) including single-breath-hold six arterial phase acquisitions was performed on a 3.0-T MRI scanner. The TRMAs frequency and the mean TRMA scores were compared between patients assessed with gadoxetate disodium and those assessed with gadobutrol. In addition, the timing of TRMAs appearing for the first time was also recorded and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The mean TRMA scores in all arterial phases using gadoxetate disodium were significantly worse than in those using gadobutrol (1.49 ± 0.78 vs. 1.18 ± 0.53, P < .001). Regarding the timing of the occurrence of TRMAs, the severe TRMAs frequency after the third arterial phase was significantly higher in patients using gadoxetate disodium (10/101, 10%) than in those using gadobutrol (0/113, 0%) (P < .001). CONCLUSION: In multiple-arterial-phase dynamic MRI, the TRMAs frequency when using gadoxetate disodium increased compared with gadobutrol, due to intolerable respiratory suspension after the third arterial phase.
