A variety of models for Gadoxetate DCE-MRI in the liver has been proposed, but comparing results of different groups is difficult due to a lack of consistency in the definitions, nomenclature and units. We perform a rigorous classification of existing models and definitions by defining a general unified Gadoxetate DCE-MRI liver model, and identifying the relationship with existing models. Six distinct models were identified in the literature and a translation table was derived to allow direct comparison of measured quantities. The method provides a rational basis for a new standard in this field.
