CT scan to predict liver failure after surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses special CT scans to create a map of your liver's blood vessels before surgery. The goal is to predict if your liver might fail after part of it is removed, so doctors can better plan your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have a major liver resection (removing at least 3 sections of your liver).
- You have a recent CT scan of your liver with contrast dye, which will be reviewed by the study team.
- You agree to have follow-up visits and blood tests for at least 30 days after your surgery.
- You do not have a known blood vessel problem in your liver (like a clot).
- Your surgery is not an emergency procedure for injury.

This study uses your liver MRI scans and medical information to build a tool that predicts survival after surgery for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It may help doctors better understand your outlook and plan care.
This study looks at how well imaging predicts the outcome of surgery for liver metastases from colorectal or breast cancer. If you are having surgery to remove liver metastases, you may be able to participate.
This study tests a special scan to predict complications before liver tumor treatment. It aims to help doctors plan safer surgery or ablation by checking how well your liver will handle the treatment.
This study looks at whether special scans can help doctors better predict how aggressive a person's liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) will be, especially right after surgery. If you are planning to have surgery to remove the tumor as your first treatment, this trial might be a good fit.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure liver stiffness before surgery to remove liver tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help predict surgical risks and improve outcomes for patients undergoing liver surgery.
This trial tests a new imaging system to help surgeons plan liver removal operations. If you have a liver tumor that can be removed, this study may help improve surgical accuracy and outcomes.
