Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Estimate and compare the diagnostic performance, including sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative predictive value, and area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC), of abbreviated protocol liver magnetic resonance (MR) with hepatobiliary phase (HBP) using gadobenate dimeglumine for detecting liver metastases, with 1) abbreviated protocol liver MR with HBP using gadoxetate disodium, 2) standard of care complete protocol liver MR using gadoxetate disodium, and 3) complete protocol liver MR using gadobenate dimeglumine.
* Estimate and compare quantitative measures of HBP images (liver enhancement ratio, lesion contrast to noise and signal to noise ratios \[CNR and SNR\]) for both gadobenate dimeglumine and gadoxetate disodium.
* Qualitatively assess the preference, or lack thereof, of radiologists regarding the images generated by abbreviated protocol liver MR with HBP using gadobenate dimeglumine versus abbreviated protocol liver MR with HBP using gadoxetate disodium.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Gadoxetate disodium exam first
The subjects will be randomized into two groups. Both groups will undergo two complete protocol liver MRs for known or suspected CRC metastasis, one exam with gadoxetate disodium and the other exam with gadobenate dimeglumine, within an interval of 3-10 days, but in opposite order, determined randomly.
Gadoxetate disodium
Gadoxetate disodium is now mainly used for the purpose of HBP liver MR imaging to save MR scanner time and total examination time.
Gadobenate dimeglumine
The most commonly used MR contrast agent in abdominal imaging is gadobenate dimeglumine, which has mainly the characteristics of an extracellular agent used for most indications of MR examinations.
