    Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI is essential for diagnosing liver conditions in children due to its superior soft-tissue contrast.

  • 2

    Breath-hold techniques like CAIPIRINHA-VIBE are challenging for pediatric patients, often requiring anesthesia for adequate imaging.

  • 3

    GRASP-VIBE allows continuous free-breathing acquisition, making it suitable for pediatric imaging where breath-hold compliance is limited.

  • 4

    This study compares the image quality of GRASP-VIBE and CAIPIRINHA-VIBE in pediatric DCE liver MRI.

  • 5

    Image quality assessment was performed by two experienced radiologists using a structured evaluation of paired images.
