Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Fifteen patients with potentially resectable hilar cholangiocarcinomas, as determined by conventional imaging modalities, will be recruited. In order to minimize false positive uptake of 18F-FDG due to inflammatory changes, patients will be recruited either before biliary stenting, or after biliary stenting if there is no clinical evidence of active cholangitis.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Hilar cholangiocarcinoma assessed by conventional imaging modalities (triphasic CT scan of the liver) and thought to be potentially resectable.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Biliary drain inserted.
  • Contraindication for MRI.
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes (over 9.7 mmol/L).
