Spectral CT scans for better colorectal cancer staging
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a special CT scanner to get clearer images of colorectal cancer before treatment, which may help doctors more accurately determine how far the cancer has spread. The goal is to plan the most effective treatment.
