Super-resolution ultrasound study for people with liver tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a special, high-detail ultrasound to get clearer images of liver tumors. It may help doctors better understand your tumor without extra procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a newly diagnosed liver tumor, such as liver cancer, a spot that spread from another cancer, or a benign growth like a hemangioma
- Your doctor has recommended a contrast-enhanced ultrasound as part of your regular care
- You are willing to talk with your doctor about the study and sign a consent form
- You do not have severe allergies to the ultrasound contrast agent (sulfur hexafluoride)
- You can lie still during the ultrasound and do not have broken skin or too much fluid in your belly that would block the sound waves

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and treat liver cancer by combining advanced imaging tests and genetic analysis. It may help in choosing the most effective treatment for each person.
This trial tests how well ultrasound, standard MRI, and special MRI (with a contrast agent) find liver cancer in people at high risk. You may join if you have certain risk factors like hepatitis B or C, heavy alcohol use, fatty liver, or a family history of liver cancer.
This trial looks at whether special features seen on contrast-enhanced ultrasound can help doctors better classify liver nodules using a system called LI-RADS. It’s for people at high risk for liver cancer who have recent imaging and clear tissue diagnosis.
This trial compares two types of scans to see which detects liver cancer better in people at high risk. You would receive either an MRI with contrast or an ultrasound every 6 months to monitor for liver cancer.
This study tests whether a special 3D ultrasound scan (using contrast) can help support decisions for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you have planned new cancer treatment, the scan may add information to help doctors guide care.
This study tests a new type of ultrasound imaging called super-resolution ultrasound that creates very detailed pictures of breast cancer. Researchers will use it to track how well chemotherapy is working before surgery, which may help doctors plan better treatment.
