Photon counting CT for liver metastasis from colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of CT scanner (photon counting CT) to see if it can better find liver spread from colorectal cancer. If you have colorectal cancer and need a liver check, this might help improve detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have colorectal cancer (no biopsy needed yet)
- You will have a special CT scan (photon counting CT) as part of your care
- You will also have an MRI with a special contrast dye for the liver

This trial studies how well MRI can evaluate liver metastases (spread to the liver) from colorectal cancer. If you have measurable liver lesions, your MRI results may help doctors better track and plan care.
This trial tests a new PET/CT scan using a special tracer to detect cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneal carcinomatosis) in people with colorectal, stomach, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer. It aims to see if this scan is better at finding the spread than standard imaging.
This study tests a new, more detailed type of CT scan (called photon-counting CT) to see if it can better show how far rectal cancer has grown or spread. If you are already getting standard scans to stage your cancer, this study adds an extra CT scan with contrast dye to get clearer pictures.
This study tests whether a special imaging scan (PET-CT) can better detect if colorectal cancer has come back or spread after treatment. The scan uses a radioactive tracer to light up cancer cells, helping doctors catch recurrence earlier.
This study tests a new type of CT scan (spectral CT) to see how well it detects colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver or belly lining. It may help doctors better plan surgery to remove all the cancer.
This study tests whether a new type of MRI scan can better detect and measure liver disease, including fatty liver and scarring, compared to standard CT scans. If you have chronic liver disease, this study may help improve how we diagnose and track it.
