Brief summary

This is a study involving the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agents called Gadavist. The purpose of this study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of Gadavist when used for taking images of the brain and spine. The results of the MRI will be compared to the results of images taken without Gadavist.

Detailed description

Issues on safety will be addressed in Adverse Events section.

Interventions

Gadobutrol (Gadavist, BAY86-4875)
Participants were administered a single dose of gadobutrol 0.1 mmol/kg body weight (bw) via i.v. (intravenous) bolus administration using a power injector via a peripheral vein (an antecubital vein was preferred). Gadobutrol was injected at a rate of 2 mL/second followed by a 20-mL 0.9% saline flush at the same rate.

Accuracy of Detection of Malignant Lesions (ML) for Combined Unenhanced/Gadobutrol-enhanced MRI Compared to Unenhanced MRI by Clinical Investigator

The presence of malignant lesions was derived from the diagnoses given by the investigator on the evaluation of the unenhanced image set and the combined unenhanced/enhanced image sets. The final clinical diagnosis was provided by an independent truth committee following evaluation of findings from referral through a 3-month follow-up period, not including the study-specific MR image sets. Accuracy = percentage of participants for which the imaging modality (unenhanced or Gadobutrol-enhanced) matches the standard of truth for the presence or absence of malignant lesions.

Sensitivity of Detection of Malignant Lesions (ML) for Combined Unenhanced/Gadobutrol-enhanced MRI Compared to Unenhanced MRI by Clinical Investigator

The presence of malignant lesions was derived from the diagnoses given by the investigator on the evaluation of the unenhanced image set and the combined unenhanced/enhanced image sets. The final clinical diagnosis was provided by an independent truth committee following evaluation of findings from referral through a 3-month follow-up period, not including the study-specific MR image sets. Sensitivity = percentage of participants for which the imaging modality (unenhanced or Gadobutrol-enhanced) correctly detects malignant lesions as defined by the independent truth committee.
