Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of the study is to find out if a study agent called Lumason® microbubbles may be helpful for people with lesions in the liver. It is possible it may help determine an early response to radioembolization and/or help demonstrate radiation toxicity to the surrounding liver.

- timeFrame
- Base line up to 24 weeks
- description
- Dynamic CEUS imaging will demonstrate perfusion characteristics that will predict early tumor response to Transarterial Y90 embolization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma. A change in intra-tumoral arterial flow will be predictive of early response. This will be evaluated immediately following hepatic artery embolization (day 0), at 4 weeks (follow-up 1), 12 weeks (follow-up 2) and 24 weeks (follow-up 3). A modified RECIST will be used to measure early tumor response.
