Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate in saline and biological fluids on short tau inversion-recovery (STIR) and T1-weighted high-resolution isotropic volume excitation (eTHRIVE) sequences. Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate at different concentrations in saline (a), blood (b), and bile (c) on STIR sequence. Signal intensities of gadoterate, gadobenate, and gadoxetate at different concentrations in saline (d), blood (e), and bile (f) on e-THRIVE 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
