This is an open-label, multi-center study involving babies 0-2 months of age who have liver problems (pathology) and need to have their liver and possibly, the bile ducts imaged using magnetic resonance imaging and injection of a contrast agent (dye). This agent is called Eovist. It has been marketed since 2004 and used in many countries all over the world.
The baby will have blood tests before and after the imaging is done to make sure that there are no unexpected findings before and after the imaging. Also 3 blood samples up to 8 hours after the injection will be obtained in order to measure how much of the dye is in the blood. The baby will have an intravenous line which can be used for the blood samples and will not need to be stick for the blood samples. Several radiologists will evaluate the images. The family doctor will be contacted to find out what was the diagnosis and treatment after the results of the MRI were known. Six months after the study, the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) will be contacted to make sure the that baby did not have any problems, especially with the skin, joints and eyes.

Experimental: Gadoxetate disodium (Eovist/Primovist, BAY86-4873)
Participants to receive single dose of Eovist/Primovist as a manual injection at a dose of 0.1 milliliter per kilogram (mL/kg) body weight (BW) (0.025 millimole [mmol]/kg BW), followed by a flush of at least 5 mL saline (sodium chloride 0.9 percent [%] solution) manually.

- Number of Subjects With Additional Diagnostic Information From Combined (Pre-contrast And Post-contrast) Images Compared With Pre-contrast Images [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection and post-injection (within about 15 minutes) ]Additional diagnostic information such as better delineation of the border of the lesion, better definition of the internal morphology of the lesion, better characterization of the lesion, better definition of the location of the lesion, better assessment of the communication of the lesion with respect to the biliary system obtained from the combined magnetic resonance (MR) images compared with pre-contrast MR images. Number of subjects with additional diagnostic information were recorded and analyzed.
- Number of Subjects With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From the signing of the informed consent form until the 6 month post MRI follow-up ]An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence that is, any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory findings), symptom or disease in a subject or clinical investigation subject after providing written informed consent for participation in the study.
- Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From the signing of the informed consent form until the 6 month post MRI follow-up ]An serious adverse events (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
- Number of Lesions Detected for the Pre-contrast Images [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection ]
- Number of Lesions Detected for the Combined Images [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection and post-injection (within about 15 minutes) ]
- Contrast Enhancement of the Liver for the Combined Images Assessed by Yes or no Question [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection and post-injection (within about 15 minutes) ]
- Contrast Enhancement of the Biliary System for the Combined Images Assessed by Yes or no Question [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection and post-injection (within about 15 minutes) ]
Biliary system included
- Gall bladder
- Cystic duct
- Common bile duct
- Right main bile duct
- Left main bile duct
- Visualization of the Biliary System for the Pre-contrast and Combined Images Assessed by Yes or no Question [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection and post-injection (within about 15 minutes) ]
- Change in Diagnosis for the Combined Images Compared With Precontrast Images [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection and post-injection (within about 15 minutes) ]Diagnosis based on the pre-contrast images will be indicated. If there is a change in the diagnosis based on the combined images, then the combined images diagnosis will be recorded.
- Diagnostic Confidence for the Pre-contrast and Combined Images Assessed by Yes or no Question [ Time Frame: Images were taken pre-injection and post-injection (within about 15 minutes) ]Diagnostic confidence was classified as not confident (No), confident (Yes), very confident (Yes).

Ages Eligible for Study: | up to 2 Months (Child) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 0-2 months (must be gestational age 37 to 41 weeks)
- Scheduled to undergo routine contrast-enhanced liver MRI
- Able to comly with the study procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Scheduled for any intervention (except lumbar puncture and bone marrow aspiration) during the study period
