The aim of this study was to evaluate image quality of 3D MR cholangiography (MRC) using high sampling efficiency technique (SPACE) at 3T compared with 1.5T. ⋯ 3T MRC using SPACE offered better image quality than 1.5T. SPACE technique facilitated high-resolution 3D MRC with excellent image quality at 3T.

We investigated whether the gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced MRI was useful for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) staging based on the severity of liver fibrosis. ⋯ It was possible to assess the progress of liver fibrosis in NASH by evaluating the signal intensity-time course on Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI.
