Study Description
Brief Summary: This clinical trial studies how well contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging works in diagnosing liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis. Diagnostic procedures, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging, may help find and diagnose liver cancer.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients at risk for HCC in a multicenter setting. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To validate CEUS Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) and determine the prevalence of HCC in each CEUS LI-RADS category. II. To evaluate inter-reader reliability of CEUS for HCC diagnosis. III. To evaluate covariates that might limit diagnostic performance of CEUS for HCC diagnosis.
