Objectives: Purpose of this study was to compare the quality of perfusion maps obtained from prototypical free-breathing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with continuous golden-angle radial sampling and iterative reconstruction (GRASP) to conventional acquisition using time-resolved angiography with interleaved stochastic trajectories (TWIST) in patients with rectal cancer. Material and Methods: Forty cases were included for retrospective analysis. Twenty of the patients received routine multiparametric MRI at 3 T for rectal cancer staging, including perfusion measurement with GRASP or TWIST (10 patients for each technique, including 5 prechemoradiation and 5 postchemoradiation). Twenty patients without history of rectal disease served as control group (10 GRASP, 10 TWIST). GRASP images were reconstructed at temporal resolution of 3.45 seconds (21 spokes/frame). A voxel-by-voxel deconvolution approach was used to determine rectal plasma flow (mL/100 mL per minute). Regions of interest were placed at 3 levels within the tumor and normal rectum (lower, middle, and upper part). The quality of morphologic images, perfusion maps, and arterial input function were scored by 2 blinded radiologists. Independent t tests were applied. Results: Three patients of the TWIST control group had to be excluded due to technical failure of the sequence. Significantly higher scores for the perfusion maps and arterial input functions (total cohort) were obtained using GRASP (P
