Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the Definity (perflutren lipid microsphere Injectable Suspension) ultrasound contrast agent in identifying small tumors (hepatomas \& metastases) within the liver.
Primary objective: To estimate the increase in conspicuity of small intrahepatic tumors with contrast-enhanced sonography
Secondary Objectives: To estimate the effect of tumor type, size, location and depth on the conspicuity of small tumors on contrast-enhanced sonography
Primary objective: To estimate the increase in conspicuity of small intrahepatic tumors with contrast-enhanced sonography
Secondary Objectives: To estimate the effect of tumor type, size, location and depth on the conspicuity of small tumors on contrast-enhanced sonography
Detailed Description:
An estimated 75 patients (age 18 years of age or older) will be enrolled from the population of patients who present for ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of CT or MRI-confirmed multiple primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or metastatic carcinoma, with at least one of the tumors being ≤ 1.5 cm in diameter.
