Table 1. Standardized MRI Protocol in Institution A.

Scanner: MAGNETOM Skyra (Siemens Healthineers)

Position: Supine

Contrast: Dotarem (gadoterate meglumine; Guerbet); dose, 0.1 mmol/kg body weight; injection rate, 2 mL/sec; saline chasing, 30 mL

Pulse sequences:

1) Triplanar ECG-gated breathhold HASTE images

2) Axial ECG-gated breathhold T2 turbo spin echo images with double inversion recovery

3) Axial DWI with respiratory triggering using prospective acquisition correction technique, b-values 0, 100, 400, and 800 s/mm2

4) Triplanar precontrast T1-weighted Dixon-VIBE in-phase, out-of-phase, fat-suppressed images with breathhold

5) Coronal DCE with multi-breathhold VIBE technique, including two precontrast sequences and 16 postcontrast phases

6) Triplanar postcontrast T1-weighted Dixon-VIBE in-phase, out-of-phase, fat-suppressed images with breathhold, 5 minutes after intravenous administration of magnetic resonance contrast media

DCE = dynamic contrast enhancement, DWI = diffusion-weighted image, ECG = electrocardiogram, HASTE = half-Fourier-acquired single-shot turbo spin echo, VIBE = volume-interpolated breath-hold examination
