New imaging technique may sharpen heat treatment for liver tumors

This study tested whether a special CT scan that highlights blood flow (porto-scanner with Angio-CT) helps doctors more accurately destroy small liver tumors from colorectal cancer using heat ablation, compared to a standard CT scan. The goal was to see if the new method leads to complete tumor removal with fewer recurrences. The study was terminated early after enrolling only 7 participants, so results are limited.
