Hepatic Xenetix-CT Perfusion

July 11, 2017 updated by: Guerbet

Diagnostic Contribution of XENETIX® CT PERFUSION in Pre-therapeutical Assessment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to prospectively determine the diagnostic value of Xenetix-CT perfusion for the discrimination between well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and poorly/moderately differentiated HCC, in histo-pathologically proven HCC, and with the aim to cover the entire liver.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Arterial Liver Perfusion (ALP) According to Degree of Lesions Differentiation
Time Frame: Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
The mean level of each CT perfusion parameter was compared between well differentiated and moderately/poorly differentiated lesions according to WHO classification evaluated off-site.
Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
Portal Venous Liver Perfusion (PVP) According to Degree of Lesions Differentiation
Time Frame: Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
The mean level of each CT perfusion parameter was compared between well differentiated and moderately/poorly differentiated lesions according to WHO classification evaluated off-site.
Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
Total Liver Perfusion (TLP) According to Degree of Lesions Differentiation
Time Frame: Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery

The mean level of each CT perfusion parameter was compared between well differentiated and moderately/poorly differentiated lesions according to WHO classification evaluated off-site.

TLP = ALP + PVP

Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
Hepatic Perfusion Index (HPI) According to Degree of Lesions Differentiation
Time Frame: Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
The mean level of each CT perfusion parameter was compared between well differentiated and moderately/poorly differentiated lesions according to WHO classification evaluated off-site.
Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
Blood Volume According to Immunohistochemistry Parameter (Glutamine Synthetase)
Time Frame: Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery

Glutamine synthetase is an immunohistochemistry parameter of hepatocellular carcinoma phenotype.

Glutamine synthetase labelling was quantified and in case of positive quantification, classified in the following categories: 1-10%, 10-50% and >50%. In case of absence of glutamine synthetase labelling, lesions were classified in the "glutamine synthetase 0%" category.

Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
Blood Volume According to Immunohistochemistry Parameter (CD31)
Time Frame: Within a week from CT perfusion to surgery
CD31 is an immunohistochemistry marker of microvessel density. CD31 labelling was quantified and in case of positive quantification, classified in the following categories: 1-10%, 10-50% and >50%. In case of absence of CD31 labelling, lesions were classified in the "CD31 0%" category.
