Development of 3D Multi-Parametric Ultrasound (MPUS) as a Decision Support Tool for Patients With Abdominal and Pelvic Tumors Undergoing Therapy
Summary
This clinical trial studies how well 3-dimensional multi-parametric ultrasound (3D MPUS) imaging works as a decision-support tool for patients with liver tumors undergoing therapy. Continuous and dynamic imaging of patients undergoing therapy is required to monitor early-phase treatment response.
Detailed description
This clinical trial studies how well 3-dimensional multi-parametric ultrasound (3D MPUS) imaging works as a decision-support tool for patients with liver tumors undergoing therapy. Continuous and dynamic imaging of patients undergoing therapy is required to monitor early-phase treatment response. 3D-MPUS is an inexpensive and safe method, which may provide complementary quantitative functional (perfusion) and tissue characterization information to anatomical radiological assessment or blood biomarkers.
Arms & interventions
- Diagnostic Test3D-MPUS
Participants will receive approximately \< 20 minutes ultrasound scan to locate the lesion followed by acquisition of 3D-MPUS acquisition.
Outcome measures
Primary
Diagnostic yield of the 3D-MPUS data acquisition
Diagnostic yield will be the percentage of non-missing measurements (per reader, per measurement) Participants with successful measurements of the following parameters (following administration of a contrast agent). * peak enhancement (PE)
