Brief Title: B-mode Ultrasound Imaging in Detecting Early Liver Cancer
Official Title: Quantitative Ultrasound Spectroscopy to Early HCC
Study ID: NCT02774161
Brief Summary: This pilot trial studies how well B-mode ultrasound imaging works in detecting liver cancer that is early in its growth and may not have spread to other parts of the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as B-mode ultrasound imaging, may help find and diagnose liver cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To investigate the use of quantitative ultrasound spectroscopy to detect early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as an inexpensive and widely available quantitative (i.e. robust) method to confirm disease in developing countries. OUTLINE: Patients undergo B-mode ultrasound imaging of the liver over 15 minutes.
