The Role of Gadoxetate Enhanced Spectral Dual-Energy CT in Evaluating Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating CT scan for Cholangiocarcinoma. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the role of gadoxetate (Eovist®) enhanced dual-energy CT in better evaluating perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. This pilot project aims to address a long-term pitfall in the imaging of cholangiocarcinomas, by providing higher resolution delineation of these often infiltrative tumors on single-source, Dual-Energy Spectral Multi Detector CT (MDCT), capitalizing on improved spatial resolution achievable with MDCT compared to MRI and at the same time producing a non-invasive CT cholangiogram to aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning of cholangiocarcinoma, particularly, the hilar variety.
