B-mode Ultrasound Imaging in Detecting Early Liver Cancer
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cirrhosis, Early Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Fibrosis, Stage I Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Stage II Hepatocellular Carcinoma
In brief
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.

You may qualify if…
- For Healthy Volunteers
- Patients over 18 years of age.
- Must have no known medical problems and have had a full medical exam within 6 months of the study. If healthy volunteers have not had a full medical exam within 6 months of the study, one of the ultrasound physicians will conduct the medical exam prior to any study procedures.

- Patients over 18 years of age.
- Patient with confirmed diagnosis of HCC, and untreated or Patients with Suspected HCC (Suspected HCC nodules should preferably be smaller than 3 cm and preferably within 6 cm in depth of the transducer head to minimize attenuation) and untreated or Patients at a higher risk of HCC undergoing a screening program by Ultrasound.
You may not qualify if…
- For Healthy volunteers
- Patients who are not likely to comply with the protocol requirements.
- For HCC patients
