Comparison of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angio computed tomography ( Angio CT) in the characterization of liver lesions in patients with colorectal cancer and possible liver metastases

Interventions: patients will undergo primovist MRI as part of their work up for presentation with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM)
most patietns will undergo one MRI but may have a second if they need neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then restaging for possible surgery.
MRI usually takes about 30 minutes.
Primary outcome(s): assessing accuracy of primovist MRI compared to angio CT.
both tests will be reported by 2 radiologists blinded to results of the other imaging modality.
tis will allow assessment of interobserver variability as well as accuracy of test. all 4 reports will be correlated with histopathology from surgery to assess accuracy of the tests.[measured postoperatively when histopathology available]
