Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate in saline and biological fluids on three-dimensional multiecho fast field-echo (3D mFFE) and multiecho gradient- and spin-echo (mGraSE) sequences. Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate at different concentrations in saline (a), blood (b), and bile (c) on 3D-mFFE sequence. Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate at different concentrations in saline (d), blood (e), and bile (f) on mGraSE sequence. * = significantly higher maximum signal intensity of the contrast agent than both other contrast agents; + = significantly higher maximum signal intensity than the contrast agent with the lowest maximum signal intensity. * or + = p < 0.050, ** or + + = p < 0.010; *** or + + + = p < 0.001
