Study arms

  • Experimental
    The application value of spectral CT in the accurate staging of liver cancer

    Prospectively collect medical images and clinical data related to liver cancer using Philips Quark CT equipment, and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and clinical application value in the accurate staging of liver cancer.Patients diagnosed with liver cancer in Yunnan Provincial Cancer Hospital from April 2025 to May 2026 were consecutively included, and after scanning with Philips Quark CT, the TNM stage of liver cancer patients was assessed by two radiologists, and finally statistical analysis was performed.

    Diagnostic Test: To explore the value of spectral CT in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testTo explore the value of spectral CT in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer

    The CT scan is part of the standard treatment protocol.
