2 Purpose Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a noninvasive imaging technique that provides detailed information on the anatomy and pathology of the biliary tree and pancreatic duct [1-3]. Breath-hold techniques or respiratory-triggering techniques are used to reduce motion artifacts in MRCP. The respiratory-triggered 3D MRCP technique can offer higher spatial resolution than the breath-hold technique and is widely used in clinical practice [4,5]. For respiratory triggering, movement of the abdominal wall is commonly monitored by a bellows rolled around the upper abdomen to monitor respiratory motion [6]. However, the motion of the abdominal wall does not always reflect that of the visceral organs faithfully, and the discrepancy between them may degrade the image quality. The navigatorecho triggering technique (navigator technique) is another method to monitor respiratory motion. This technique allows synchronization of data acquisition to the movement of visceral organs, by directly monitoring the movement of the right diaphragm with navigator echoes. It has been used mainly for cardiac imaging [7,8], and is introduced to upper abdominal imaging with the low flip angle sequences which avoid magnetization saturation inside the volume of interest [4]. Its superiority to the bellows technique for 3D MRCP has been reported in healthy volunteers [9]. In this study, we performed respiratory-triggered 3D MRCP with both navigator and bellows techniques in patients with biliary or pancreatic diseases. We compared the image quality, the visualization of the pancreaticobiliary tree and the clarity of the lesion, within a patient between the two methods. Methods and Materials Patients Institutional review board approval was obtained. Written informed consent was obtained before each examination. Forty patients (24 men and 16 women; mean age, 61.7 years; age range, years) referred to MRCP for the evaluation of biliary or pancreatic diseases (Table 1). Study design Page 2 of 14
3 All the patients underwent 3D MRCP examinations using both bellows and navigator techniques. Four-hour fasting. Ingestion of negative oral contrast agent. Intramuscular injection of an antispasmodic agent. At the beginning of the examination, bellows was rolled around the upper abdomen. MRCP using the bellows technique was performed first, and, subsequently, MRCP using the navigator technique was done. MRCP A 1.5-Tesla system with eight-channel phased-array torso coil Respiratory-triggered 3D MRCP was performed with a 3D FRFSE sequence. TR/ TE = ms/670.4 ms FOV = 34 x 34 cm matrix = 352 x sections of 2.2-mm thickness parallel acquisition technique (reduction factor, 2) spectrally selected fat saturation In the navigator technique, the navigator was set on top of the right hemidiaphragm. 2D pencil-beam excitation 10-degree flip angle 10-cm length, 2-cm diameter acceptance window, ±2mm Partial maximum-intensity-projection (MIP) images of MRCP were created for. Data analysis Two independent board-certified radiologists visually evaluated the qualities of the 3D MRCP images using the bellows and navigator techniques in a blinded fashion. Differences between reviewers were resolved by consensus between them. The pancreaticobiliary tree was divided into 12 segments for the evaluation of the image quality (Table 2). The visualization of the 10 segments except the gallbladder and cystic duct was classified into four categories (excellent, good, fair and poor) on the MIP images. Page 3 of 14
4 The visualization of the gallbladder was classified into three categories (excellent, good and poor) on the MIP images. The visualization of the cystic duct was classified into three categories (excellent, good and poor) on the MIP and source images. The clarity of the lesion was compared between the two techniques in a side-by-side manner, on the MIP images. Source images were also used for the evaluation of the gallbladder lesion. Thirty-one lesions were identified in 26 patients, by referring to all available images including US, CT, MRI, and ERCP. The results of comparison were classified into the following categories: the navigator technique provided better quality, the two techniques provided equal quality, the bellows technique provided better quality and a lesion was not visualized on either images. Statistical analysis Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed for statistical analysis of visual assessments. For the evaluation of the lesion clarity, all 31 lesions were evaluated as one group. The acquisition times were compared using the paired t-test. Images for this section: Page 4 of 14

6 Results MRCP images were successfully acquired using both techniques in all patients. No significant difference in acquisition times was observed between the two techniques (Figure 1). The image quality was significantly better for the navigator technique than for the bellows technique in the following seven segments: the head, body and tail of the pancreatic duct; the right hepatic duct; the anterior and posterior segments of the right hepatic duct; and the cystic duct (Table 2, 3 Figure 2). The improvement of the image quality indicated better monitoring of respiratory motion using the navigator technique than using the bellows technique. The navigator technique tended to provide better image quality in the left side of the hepatic ducts; however, the difference failed to reach a statistical significance. The left hepatic lobe is moved and deformed by cardiac motion [10] in addition to respiratory motion, and improvement of correction for respiratory motion alone may not be effective for better visualization of the left side of the hepatic ducts. The clarity of the lesion was significantly better for the navigator technique than for the bellows technique (Table 4, Figure 3). Images for this section: Page 6 of 14

13 Conclusion The navigator technique offered 3D MRCP images of higher quality than the bellows technique for the right side of the hepatic ducts, pancreatic ducts and cystic ducts. The navigator technique allowed clearer visualization of the pancreaticobiliary lesions. The navigator technique directly monitors respiratory motion of the right hemidiaphragm, which closely simulates that of the liver. The better quality of MRCP images appears to be attributable to this direct monitoring. References 1. Schaefer JF, Kirschner HJ, Lichy M, et al.
