Brief Summary

This trial evaluates the treatment response of colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver (liver metastases) using intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM DWI). IVIM DWI is new kind of imaging scan that may help measure changes in disease before and after chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver metastases.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with treatment-naive resectable CLM, who will start chemotherapy with oxaliplatin with fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (FOLFOX), irinotecan with 5-FU/leucovorin (FOLFIRI), or a combination, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI), with or without a biologic agent * Patients with at least 1 colorectal liver metastasis measuring at least 1 cm * Patients with anticipated follow-up before and after surgery at MD Anderson Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have already received preoperative chemotherapy for the CLM or will undergo radiation therapy, ablative therapies, or other non-surgical therapies directed at the liver * Patients allergic to gadolinium * Patients with pacemakers * Greater than 400 pounds in weight
