Reproducibility and Repeatability of Multifunctional MRI Biomarkers of the Body

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Metastatic Liver Cancer
Interventions
Other: DCE MRI
Registration Number
NCT02201797
Lead Sponsor
Asan Medical Center
Brief Summary

Advanced MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) technique called DCE (Dynamic Contrast Enhanced) and DWI MRI can provide valuable information regarding tumor biology and response to treatment through various parameters. Validating stability of these parameters will further establish robustness and reliability of these promising biomarkers.

GroupInterventionDescription
DCE and DWI MRIDCE MRIMRI SCAN 1 and MRI SCAN 2 must be completed no less than 2 calendar days (to ensure 24 hours for clearance of gadolinium) and no greater than 14 days apart, and both must be completed prior to new treatment initiation. The same MRI unit and configuration must be used for MRI SCAN 1 and MRI SCAN 2.
