New PET scan could outshine MRI in liver cancer detection
NCT ID NCT07352345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of PET scan (XH06 PET/CT or PET/MR) to see if it can diagnose liver cancer better than enhanced MRI. About 150 adults with suspected or confirmed liver cancer will get both scans, and results will be checked against tissue samples. The goal is to find a more accurate way to detect and stage liver cancer, helping doctors choose the best treatment.
