Study Summary

This clinical trial studies fluorine F 18 L-glutamate derivative BAY94-9392 (18F-FSPG) positron emission tomography (PET) in imaging patients with liver cancer before undergoing surgery or transplant. Diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-FSPG PET, may help find and diagnose liver cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.

Primary Outcome

The Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) for 18F-FSPG PET images will be determined in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor lesions, non-HCC liver tumors (benign), and background liver (normal tissue). These metrics include SUVmax, SUVpeak, or SUVmean and are common PET imaging measures.
