Images of 121 patients undergoing Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging were used. Adequate HBP images were defined as a quantitative liver-spleen contrast ratio (Q-LSC) ≥ 1.5. Visual evaluation was performed to determine if an adequate HBP image could be obtained based on the presence or absence of bile excretion. Common bile duct-paravertebral contrast (CPC) was used to assess the degree of bile excretion, the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade was used to assess liver reserve, and the Q-LSC was used to assess HBP image contrast. The results were used to quantitatively evaluate the relationships of the degree of bile excretion with HBP image contrast and liver reserve. The cases correctly determined by visual evaluation via bile excretion were 80 (66.1%) at HBP 10 min after injection and 89 (73.6%) at HBP 20 min after injection. Among cases with Q-LSC ≥ 1.5 indicating bile excretion, there were 33 cases at HBP 10 min after injection and 86 cases at HBP 20 min after injection.

Beam characteristics-flatness, symmetry, beam quality, and output-were compared between gated and nongated beams using a two-dimensional ionization chamber array and a Farmer-type chamber. Dynamic accuracy was assessed using a moving platform and breast phantom, with measurements taken for various shift values (5, 10, 30 mm), region-of-interest (ROI) shapes, reference-surface image types (DICOM and capture), surface resolutions, and room illuminations. Latency due to differences in frame rates was evaluated using radiochromic film, calculated from position displacements of profiles at two speeds. Differences in beam characteristics between gated and nongated beams were within 0.1%. Dynamic accuracy showed minimal dependence on settings, with deviations of < 1 mm for a 10-mm shift. A maximum displacement of 1.9 mm was observed with a 30-mm shift at the body ROI. Beam-on latency at 12, 16, 25, and 35 frames per second was 253.2 ± 21.9, 225.7 ± 33.7, 177.1 ± 43.0, and 112.4 ± 29.2 ms, respectively, with similar trends for beam-off latency.
