Trial summary

Knowing the tumor size before operation is of great significance to the choice of treatment methods of surgeons and the prognosis of patients. In this study, two commonly used imaging methods( CE-MRI/CEUS) were selected to measure and compare the tumor size before operation, in order to determine which measurement… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of CE-MRI and CEUS for Measuring Tumor Size of HCC

Knowing the tumor size before operation is of great significance to the choice of treatment methods of surgeons and the prognosis of patients. In this study, two commonly used imaging methods( CE-MRI/CEUS) were selected to measure and compare the tumor size before operation, in order to determine which measurement method is more accurate.

Read the detailed description

A total of 194 patients who met the inclusion criteria from January 2019 through May 2024 were included. Taken pathological results as the gold standard, Paired T-test and Bland-Altman analisis were conducted to assess the correlation and mean absolute error between the measured tumor sizes obtained from CE-MRI/CEUS and pathological results.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ceusRadiation

    MRI was performed by using a superconducting magnet scanner operated at 3.0 T (GE discovery MR750w, USA) and the CEUS examination (Mindray, China), ultrasound was performed first in B-mode to identify the suspicious lesions and then switched to contrast mode prior to the injection of the contrast medium.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HCC - Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Anhui Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

measuring HCC diameter (time frame: Jaunary 2019 - May 2024). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2024.
