About this trial

The goal of this study is to investigate the value of MR elastography-based SII as a means of detecting HGP noninvasively in patients with pathology-proven CRLM. MRE will provide a direct measure of tumor-liver adhesion to investigate the relationship between imaging findings and pathophysiological changes in the Liver.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Disqualifiers

Image quality does not meet the measurement requirements.

the diameter of CRLM <1cm

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Radiological assessment of CRLM

Examinations were performed on a 3.0T MRI. Mechanical vibration frequencies of 30 and 60 Hz were applied in synchrony with the MRE pulse sequence. Regions of interest (ROIs) were placed manually in the liver. The performance of the use of SII to predict HGP of tumor was evaluated with the Wilcoxon rank sum, 1-way ANOVA, and Tukey-Kramer tests.

Time frame
Baseline to 6 weeks
