Abstract Dynamic contrast-enhanced whole-abdomen axial images were obtained by using a fat-suppressed, three-dimensional, breath-hold enhanced fast spoiled gradient-echo technique, configured for optimal evaluation for detection and characterization of liver lesions. We then evaluated the feasibility of using these images to reconstruct “free” abdominal magnetic resonance angiography, without additional cost or acquisition time, in 32 randomly chosen patients. The aorta, celiac trunk, superior mesenteric, hepatic, splenic, and renal arteries were clearly depicted.
