Study Summary

This clinical trial studies contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting nonmalignant and malignant liver lesions. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help find and diagnose nonmalignant and malignant liver lesions. Contrast agents, such as gadoxetate disodium and gadobutrol, may help doctors to see MRI images more clearly.

Primary Outcome

Summary statistics of sensitivity, specificity, true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives will be provided for gadoxetate disodium and gadoxetate disodium + gadobutrol method. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value will be estimated along with corresponding 95% confidence intervals for the two methods. Comparison between the two methods will be made following method by Obuchowski. Other statistical analyses will be
