Effects of Gadolinium Chelate Administration Timing on T2-weighted and Diffusion-weighted Abdominal MRI Examination: A Prospective Study.

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data acquisition includes several sequences that might be optimized to reduce the scan time.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of gadolinium chelate administration timing on scan duration and image quality in Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) and T2-weighted Imaging (T2WI) during abdominal MRI examinations.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted from October 2018 to May 2020.
