Blood Volume Assessment of Hepatocellular and Metastatic Carcinomas in the Liver

October 5, 2020 updated by: Rush University Medical Center
This project investigates the feasibility of assessing the relative blood volume of carcinomas in patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastases from pancreatic or colorectal cancer compared to normal liver from DynaCT acquisitions on an interventional platform.

Conditions

Detailed Description

This project will enroll patients with non-diffuse liver disease who are candidates for chemo or radioembolization to treat or manage the disease during an image guided intervention. Subjects will undergo a CT perfusion study of the liver prior to the radioembolizaiton mapping procedure or prior to the chemoembolization treatment. During the radioembolization mapping or chemoembolization procedure, 2 DynaCT acquisitions on the interventional C-arm will be acquired (the second during an injection of an iodinated contrast material) and will be processed using Siemens' PBV software to generate blood volume maps. The diagnostic accuracy of the two approaches to assess the vascularity of the tumors will be assessed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Diagnostic accuracy of PBV maps
Time Frame: 1 year
The accuracy of the DynaCT BV protocol as an indicator of healthy vs. liver tumor compared to the body CT perfusion study will evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic curve.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relationship between blood volume values and patient treatment response
Time Frame: 1,4,7,13,19 months
The relationship between the BV values obtained by both methods and treatment response (as measured by RECIST values) will be evaluated by a logistic regression model
1,4,7,13,19 months
PBV blood volume value accuracy
Time Frame: 1 year
A Spearman's correlation coefficient will be used to test the rank-based correlation of the BV values in tumor from the DynaCT BV acquisition to the body CT perfusion values. Furthermore, a paired t-test will be used to test for differences in BV using the two approaches.
