What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MRI Scan of the Liver enhanced with EovistProcedure or surgery

    10mL of gadoxetate disodium administered intravenously while being scanned via the MRI. Images will be attained on a 5, 10 and 20 minute delay. Expected scan time is 45 minutes total
