NCT ID NCT03038568
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how small changes in CT scan settings affect measurements of colorectal cancer tumors that have spread to the liver. About 169 adults with these tumors will get an extra CT scan. The goal is to see if tumor measurements stay reliable even when scan details vary.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients ≥ 18 years of age on the day of signed informed consent * Patients scheduled and approved for contrast enhanced CT that includes imaging of the abdomen and pelvis following the Department of Radiology standard of care protocol as per local institutional guidelines * Patients with measurable colorectal liver metastases on prior imaging, with at least one tumor greater than 2.0 cm in axial maximal diameter Exclusion Criteria: * Patient who is pregnant and/or lactating * Patient scheduled for CT that includes the abdomen with a multiphasic contrast enhanced protocol (e.g. Triple Phase or Quadruple Phase Liver CT) * Patient who require reduced intravenous contrast dose based on the Department of Radiology contrast policy as per local institutional guidelines * Any other medical condition, including mental illness or substance abuse, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or follow up procedures
