Comparison of maximum intensity projection (MIP) images between breath-held SPARSE-MRCP (MR Cholangiopancreatography) and respiratory-triggered MRCP in two patients. In patient 1, breath-held SPARSE-MRCP achieved better image quality (despite approximately 17-fold acceleration) than freebreathin respiratory-triggered MRCP, which showed significant residual motion blurring due to poor respiratory triggering. In patient 2, breath-held SPARSE-MRCP demonstrated image quality comparable to that of the respiratory-triggered MRCP. (Images were modified from the Figure 2 and Figure 4 in Chandarana H et al. Radiology. 2016 Aug;280(2):585–94 and were reproduced with permission from the authors and the journal.)
