Contrast Ultrasound vs. Abbreviated MRI for Detection of HCC in Patients With Indeterminate Liver Nodules


Sponsor

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Enrollment

600 participants

Start Date

Nov 28, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The study will be conducted at the following locations: 1. UT Southwestern Medical Center 2. Parkland Health and Hospital System 3. University of Michigan Investigators will prospectively compare the performance of dynamic contrast enhanced abbreviated MRI (AMRI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound for early-stage HCC detection in patients with indeterminate liver nodules.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria2

  • Child A or B cirrhosis from any etiology with at least one ILN on 4-phase CT, contrast- enhanced MRI, or contrast enhanced US but without HCC at baseline.
  • Adults 18 years old and above

Exclusion Criteria6

  • Patients post liver transplantation
  • Patients with concurrent or prior HCC (LR-5 or biopsy proven)
  • other liver cancer including cholangiocarcinoma
  • Patients with any active extra-hepatic malignancy
  • Patients with significant comorbidity and limited life expectancy, e.g., stage D congestive heart failure, in whom surveillance is not warranted are also excluded given unlikely clinical benefit
  • Patients with contraindication to contrast-enhanced MRI or CEUS, including implanted medical devices that are considered MR unsafe and severe claustrophobia
