The MRI image acquisition was performed at the Radiology and Imaging Sciences department of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. All abdominal scans in this study were acquired on a 3T whole-body MRI scanner (Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands) using a SENSE XL Torso receiving coil for signal reception. A standard three-dimensional two-point Dixon T1-weighted imaging sequence was prescribed with typical acquisition parameters of repetition time 3.41 ms, echo times 1.19 ms and 2.37 ms, flip angle 10°, pixel bandwidth 1965 Hz/pixel, percent phase field of view 72.2, field of view 317 mm × 317 mm, acquisition matrix 212 × 212, and reconstruction image matrix 288 × 288. Two image series were acquired to cover the L2–L3 and L4–L5 spine segments separately.

We performed noncontrast MRA using a 1.5T MR system (Intera Achieva Nova Dual 1.5T; Philips Healthcare) and a 16-channel phased-array body multicoil (SENSE XL Torso, Philips Healthcare). Next, MRA images were obtained using a respiratory-triggered two-dimensional single-shot b-TFE sequence (Balanced TFE M2D, Healthcare) in the transaxial (TR/TE, 2.8/1.39 ms; flip angle, 80°; matrix, 192 × 256; field of view, 40 × 26 cm; slice thickness/overlap, 6/2 mm; and acquisition time, 5 minutes), coronal (TR/TE, 2.9/1.43 ms; flip angle, 80°; matrix, 192 × 256; field of view, 40 × 36 cm; slice thickness/overlap, 7/3 mm; and acquisition time, 4 minutes), and sagittal (TR/TE, 2.6/1.31 ms; flip angle, 80°; matrix, 192 × 256; field of view, 40 × 36 cm; slice thickness/overlap, 7/3 mm; and acquisition time, 3 minutes) planes. Notably, we used the same transaxial plane parameters in both phantom and clinical studies.

Imaging was performed using a 3.0T scanner (Achieva, Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands) using a 16 channel body coil (SENSE XL-Torso, Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands) as previously described (Chouhan et al2016a (link)). Briefly, anatomical imaging using a breath hold balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence was used to plan DCE studies for inclusion of the liver, retroperitoneal vessels and heart. T1 measurements were obtained using multi-flip angle (5, 7, 10, 15 and 20°) three-dimensional (3D) gradient echo imaging, with B1 non-uniformity correction (Treier et al2007 (link)). 3D gradient turbo field echo (TFE) imaging with spectral attenuated inversion recovery (SPAIR) fat suppression was used for coronal plane DCE imaging. Sixty slices were obtained from each 15 cm volume within 3.35 s, with sequential scanning for 5 min (sequence parameters given in table 1 ). Ten ml of Gd-DOTA (gadoterate dimeglumine, Dotarem®, Guerbet, Roissy, France), diluted in 10 ml of normal saline, was injected after the first five volumes were acquired at 4 ml/s (Spectris®, Medrad Inc., USA), followed by a 20 ml saline flush. The first breath hold instruction was given before the CA injection and subjects thereafter continued self-directed expiration breath holds for the remainder of the DCE study.

MRI was performed with a 3.0 T scanner (Philips Achieva 3.0T TX, Philips N.V., Eindhoven, The Netherlands) with a body coil (Sense-XL-Torso) covering the whole abdomen from the lower thorax to the symphysis. The structured MRI protocol included transaxial, sagittal, and coronal T2-weighted sequence (repetition time (TR) 651 ms, echo time (TE) 80 ms, flip angle 90°, resolution 0.7 mm x 0.7 mm x 0.5 mm), transaxial fat-suppressed spectral attenuated inversion recovery (SPAIR) sequence (TR 744 ms, TE 70 ms, flip angle 90°), DUAL- fast field echo (FFE) sequence (TR 180 ms, TE 1.15 ms outphase and 2.30 ms inphase, flip angle 55°, resolution 1.3 mm x 1.3 mm x 5.0 mm), diffusion weighted image (DWI) sequence (TR 490 ms, TE 48 ms, flip angle 90°, resolution 1.8 mm x 1.8 mm x 5.0 mm), DCE sequences GD dyn eThrive SENSE (TR 3.8 ms, TE1.8 ms, flip angle 10°, resolution 0.9 mm x 0.9 mm x 5.0 mm, at 6.7s intervals a total of 23 timeframes) and T1w post-contrast images (TR 6.9ms, TE 3.5ms, flip angle 10°, resolution 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm x 3.0 mm). During DCE image acquisition, the contrast agent gadoterate meglumine (Dotarem 279.3 mg/ml, Guerbet, France) was injected intravenously as a bolus dose of 0.1 mmol/kg at a rate of 4 ml/s using an MRI-compatible power injector (Optistar Elite, Covidien, Los Angeles, CA, USA), followed by a 20 ml flush of 0.9% sodium chloride solution.

MRI was performed 3–5 days after TACE therapy using a 3T superconducting MRI system (Philips, Amsterdam, Netherlands) with a phased array body coil (SENSE XL Torso; Philips) and the following imaging parameters: 7 mm section thickness and 3 mm intersection gap. Three-dimensional T1-weighted turbo field echo sequence with spectral presaturation inversion recovery fat suppression [repetition time (TR), 3.0 ms; echo time (TE), 1.35 ms; field of view, 350×320 mm; matrix, 124×100; flip angle, 10°] was utilized pre-contrast and post-contrast (15 s, 90 s, 3 min and 20 min after injection of Gd-EOB-DTPA). Respiratory-triggered T2-weighted fast spin echo sequence with short TI inversion recovery fat suppression (TR, 1,113 ms; TE, 70 ms; field of view, 350×320 mm; matrix, 268×200; flip angle, 90°) was used prior to injection of the contrast agent. The contrast agent was used at a dose of 0.025 mmol/kg body weight and at an injection rate of 2 ml/s by 20 ml saline flush using an intravenous line (via the cubital vein).

Local ethics committee approval was obtained and all participants provided informed written consent. Volunteers were recruited via advertisement within the University College London campus and were eligible if (i) they had no MRI contraindication, (ii) were not taking any long‐term medication (excluding the oral contraceptive pill), and (iii) had no documented history of previous liver or gastrointestinal disease. The final cohort consisted of eight healthy volunteers (six male, mean age (28 ± 2) years, mean weight (72 ± 12) kg). Imaging was performed using a 3T scanner (Ingenia, Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands) with a 16 channel body coil (SENSE XL Torso, Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands) used for abdominal imaging and a 15 channel head coil (dStream HeadSpine, Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands) used for brain imaging.

Imaging was performed using a 3.0T scanner (Achieva, Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands) with a 16-channel body coil (SENSE XL-Torso, Philips Healthcare, Best, Netherlands) with sequence parameters listed in table 1. Short-axis cardiac cine MRI studies were planned using thoracic coronal and LV long-axis anatomical imaging. Images were obtained in expiratory breath-hold with pulseoximetry signal used for cardiac gating. Spoiled gradient-echo imaging with 8 mm contiguous LV short-axis slices planned from the LV apex to the mitral orifice was undertaken using a 45° flip angle, 320x320 mm FOV and 256x256 matrix. Full LV coverage with data for approximately 30 cardiac cycle phases was typically obtained within 7 breath-holds. Data from a single short-axis slice selected midway between the cardiac apex and mitral valve was analysed using GIQuant TM by drawing a single ROI on the subdiaphragmatic hepatic parenchyma (avoiding vessels and ducts) and automatic propagation to other frames within the slice cine-loop (figure 1c andd). ROIs were placed independently by two imaging scientists blinded to clinical details ( and ), both TM software. LD was measured in arbitrary units (a.u.) as described above for preclinical subjects [22] (link).

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
