"Double Low-Dose" DECT for HCC Imaging

Comparison of Image Quality Between "Double Low-Dose" Dual Energy Liver CT and Standard Contrast Enhanced Liver CT in Patients at High-risk of HCC: Prospective, Randomized Single Center Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 68 (actual)
• Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 20 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Hypothesis: double low-dose protocol provide better lesion conspicuity than standard protocol CT in patients at high-risk of HCC. patients who are scheduled for CECT for HCC diagnosis or surveillance are eligible for this study and allocated to either standard protocol or double-low dose protocol using spectral CT with low radiation dose and low dose of contrast media, within clinically accpetable range.

Conditions

• HCC

Interventions
