Comparing a new PET scan to MRI for finding liver cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan that targets a protein found in liver cancer cells. It aims to see if this new scan works better than an enhanced MRI to find liver cancer. If you have suspected or confirmed liver cancer, this study might help guide your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of imaging scan (PET/CT or PET/MR) that uses a radioactive tracer to help doctors better detect and diagnose various cancers. The scan targets a specific protein found in tumors, which may help identify cancer more accurately than standard imaging.
This study compares two advanced imaging techniques — a combined PET/MR scan and an enhanced MRI — to see which one better finds and shows liver tumors or cancer that has spread to the liver. If you have signs of a liver problem, this trial may help doctors get a clearer picture of your condition.
This study tests a new type of imaging scan (called 68Ga-NYM207 PET/CT) that may help doctors better find and understand liver cancer. You would receive the scan once to see if it helps doctors plan your treatment or monitor your cancer.
This study tests a new type of PET/CT scan (called PSMA) that may help doctors see liver cancer (HCC) better. The scan takes detailed images to track how the cancer behaves, which could help choose the best treatment.
This study compares different scan types (MRI, CT, and two PET scans) in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (a primary liver cancer). It may help doctors figure out which scan gives the most useful information for diagnosis and treatment planning.
This study looks at how well special imaging scans (PET/CT or PET/MRI) work in adults with suspected or diagnosed liver cancer. It may help doctors better see the cancer and plan next steps.
