Abstract: Purpose : Abdominal dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI suffers from motion‐induced artifacts that can blur images and distort contrast‐agent uptake curves. For liver perfusion analysis, image reconstruction with rigid‐body motion correction (RMC) can restore distorted portal‐venous input functions (PVIF) to higher peak amplitudes. However, RMC cannot correct for liver deformation during breathing. We present a reconstruction algorithm with deformable motion correction (DMC) that enables correction of breathing‐induced deformation in the whole abdomen. Methods: Raw data from a golden‐angle stack‐of‐stars gradient‐echo sequence were collected for 54 DCE‐MRI examinations of 31 patients. For each examination, a respiratory motion signal was extracted from the data and used to reconstruct 21 breathing states from inhale to exhale. The states were aligned with deformable image registration to the end‐exhale state. Resulting deformation fields were used to correct back‐projection images before reconstruction with view sharing. Images with DMC were compared to uncorrected images and images with RMC. Results: DMC significantly increased the PVIF peak amplitude compared to uncorrected images (P << 0.01, mean increase: 8%) but not compared to RMC. The increased PVIF peak amplitude significantly decreased estimated portal‐venous perfusion in the liver (P << 0.01, mean decrease: 8 ml/(100 ml·min)). DMC also removed artifacts in perfusion maps at the liver edge and reduced blurring of liver tumors for some patients. Conclusions: DCE‐MRI reconstruction with DMC can restore motion‐distorted uptake curves in the abdomen and remove motion artifacts from reconstructed images and parameter maps but does not significantly improve perfusion quantification in the liver compared to RMC.
