abstract = {The purpose of this work is to apply multi-echo spin- and
gradient-echo (SAGE) echo-planar imaging (EPI) combined with
a navigator-based (NAV) prospective motion compensation
method for a quantitative liver blood oxygen level dependent
(BOLD) measurement with a breath-hold (BH) task.A five-echo
SAGE sequence was developed to quantitatively measure T2 and
T2* to depict function with sufficient signal-to-noise
ratio, spatial resolution and sensitivity to BOLD changes
induced by the BH task. To account for respiratory motion, a
navigator was employed in the form of a single gradient-echo
projection readout, located at the diaphragm along the
inferior-superior direction. Prior to each transverse
imaging slice of the spin-echo EPI-based readouts, navigator
acquisition and fat suppression were incorporated. Motion
data was obtained from the navigator and transmitted back to
the sequence, allowing real-time adjustments to slice
positioning. Six healthy volunteers and three patients with
liver carcinoma were included in this study. Quantitative T2
and T2* were calculated at each time point of the BH task.
Parameters of t value from first-level analysis using a
general linear model and hepatovascular reactivity (HVR) of
Echo1, T2 and T2* were calculated.The motion caused by
respiratory activity was successfully compensated using the
navigator signal. The average changes of T2 and T2* during
breath-hold were about $1\%$ and $0.7\%,$ respectively. With
the help of NAV prospective motion compensation whole liver
t values could be obtained without motion artifacts. The
quantified liver T2 (34.7 ± 0.7 ms) and T2* (29 ± 1.2 ms)
values agreed with values from literature. In healthy
volunteers, the distribution of statistical t value and HVR
was homogeneous throughout the whole liver. In patients with
liver carcinoma, the distribution of t value and HVR was
inhomogeneous due to metastases or therapy.This study
demonstrates the feasibility of using a NAV prospective
motion compensation technique in conjunction with five-echo
SAGE EPI for the quantitative measurement of liver BOLD with
a BH task.},
