Predicting drug-resistant liver abscess with deep learning
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial uses a computer model based on deep learning to predict whether a bacterial liver abscess will be resistant to multiple antibiotics. It looks at your CT scan images to help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bacterial liver abscess (pyogenic liver abscess) confirmed by surgery or a drainage procedure.
- You had a contrast-enhanced CT scan of your abdomen before the surgery or drainage.
- Your abscess is not caused by an amoeba.

This study looks at how liver abscesses are treated and how well they heal. It includes people whose abscess was found on a scan and drained, and who got better with antibiotics.
This study looks at patients with liver cancer (HCC) who had a procedure called TACE (chemoembolization) after surgery. It aims to understand why some people develop a liver abscess (a pocket of infection) after TACE and how that affects their outcome.
This trial compares two antibiotic treatments for liver abscess: one given through an IV (into a vein) and one taken as pills by mouth. The goal is to see if the oral treatment works just as well, which could make treatment easier and more convenient for patients.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopy to drain large liver abscesses. It may be an option if standard needle drainage hasn't worked or isn't possible.
This study looks at whether an AI tool can predict if colorectal cancer will spread to the liver. The researchers will review past medical records of patients who had surgery to remove their cancer and had no signs of spread at that time.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict if colon or rectal cancer will spread to the liver. You will have a CT scan before surgery, and the AI will analyze the scan to see if it can forecast future liver metastasis.
