Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized, Controlled, Parallel Group, Dose Comparison Study With Corresponding Blinded Image Evaluation Following a Single Intravenous Injection of Three Different Doses of Gadobutrol 1.0 Molar (Gadavist) in Patients With Known or Suspected Focal Blood Brain Barrier Disturbances and/or Abnormal Vascularity of the Central Nervous System

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Categorical Visualization Score (CVS)
The primary visualization variables (number [no.] of lesions detected, border delineation, contrast enhancement, internal morphology) were condensed to a composite score (CVS). Each variable was considered a category; the CVS was calculated as: CVS=(No. of categories with increase over precontrast)-(No. of categories with decrease over precontrast). The possible outcomes of the CVS for a participant and each reader were in the range of - 3 to +4. The CVS was averaged across the 3 blinded readers, producing 1 mean CVS per participant. The higher the CVS, the more effective the treatment.
