Drug: Gadoxetic Acid Disodium (Eovist, BAY86-4873)
Participants have received Primovist/Eovist for liver Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as part of their routine care at participating institutions and additional diagnostic information are identified retrospectively from institution records |
- Percentage of Participants With Overall Change in Additional Diagnostic Information Obtained When Comparing the Combined Precontrast/Postcontrast Images With the Precontrast Images. [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]Overall Change in additional diagnostic information was defined as a change in at least 1 of the 5 variables below obtained from the combined precontrast and postcontrast images as compared with the precontrast images: 1. Change in number of lesions: greater or fewer 2. Improved border delineation of the primary lesion 3. Increased contrast of primary lesion versus. background 4. Change in size of the primary lesion: larger or smaller 5. Change in information about lesion characterization (lesion type): improved, unchanged, worsened
- Number of Participants With Laboratory Values Considered to be Clinically Relevant Values or Abnormalities at Pre-injection Time Point [ Time Frame: 14 days prior to Eovist/Primovist MRI ]Laboratory parameters analyzed: Hematology: leukocytes, erythrocytes, hematocrit, platelets, hemoglobin, prothrombin time and differential counts (neutrophils total, neutrophils segmented and lymphocytes); Chemistry: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), sodium, potassium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose, creatinine, bilirubin:, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, total protein, albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and α-fetoprotein levels.
- Number of Participants With Laboratory Values Considered to be Clinically Relevant Values or Abnormalities 24 Hours Post-injection [ Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post-Eovist/Primovist MRI ]The following parameters were analyzed: Hematology: leukocytes, erythrocytes, hematocrit, platelets, hemoglobin, prothrombin time and differential counts (neutrophils total, neutrophils segmented and lymphocytes) Clinical chemistry: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), sodium, potassium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose, creatinine, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, total protein, albumin, eGFR, and α-fetoprotein levels.
- Vital Signs: Mean Change From Baseline in Heart Rate [ Time Frame: 14 days prior to and up to 24 hours post-Eovist/Primovist MRI ]
- Vital Signs: Mean Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: 14 days prior to and up to 24 hours post-Eovist/Primovist MRI ]
- Vital Signs: Mean Change From Baseline in Diastolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: 14 days prior to and up to 24 hours post-Eovist/Primovist MRI ]
- Change in Diagnosis Obtained From the Combined Precontrast and Postcontrast Images as Compared With the Precontrast Images [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]
- Change in Confidence of Diagnosis Obtained From the Combined Precontrast and Postcontrast Images as Compared With the Precontrast Images [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]
- Change in Number of Nonmalignant Lesions Obtained From the Combined Precontrast and Postcontrast Images as Compared With the Precontrast Images [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]Change in number of nonmalignant lesions was defined as a change from more to less or less to more obtained from the combined precontrast and postcontrast images as compared with the precontrast images
- Change in Number of Malignant Lesions Obtained From the Combined Precontrast and Postcontrast Images as Compared With the Precontrast Images [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]Change in number of malignant lesions was defined as a change from more to less or less to more obtained from the combined precontrast and postcontrast images as compared with the precontrast images
- Change in Recommended Next Course of Subject Management/Therapy Obtained From the Combined Precontrast and Postcontrast Images as Compared With the Precontrast Images [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]
- Change in Recommended Next Course of Subject Management / Therapy - Comparison of Precontrast Versus Combined Precontrast/Postcontrast Images (Only Subjects for Whom a Change Was Documented) [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]
- The Overall Image Quality for the Postcontrast Image Only [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]
- Final Diagnosis (SoT) by Clinical Investigator [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]
- Sensitivity, Specificity and Accuracy of Blinded Read of Precontrast and Combined Precontrast/Postcontrast Images Based on Final Diagnosis. [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]Sensitivity is the probability that a test indicates there is disease when there is disease. Specificity is the probability that a test indicates there is no disease when there is no disease. Accuracy is the probability that a test is correct: the test indicates there is no disease when there is no disease and it indicates there is disease when there is disease.
- Change in Number of Lesions Obtained From the Combined Precontrast and Postcontrast Images as Compared With the Precontrast Images [ Time Frame: When precontrast and postcontrast images are available from all enrolled subjects, on average 1 year post Primovist/Eovist MRI ]
