Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to see how measurements of tumor differences vary with slight changes in CT scan parameters. Reproducible radiomic features can be extracted for abdominal tumors, and specifically colorectal liver metastases, imaged with clinical CT scanners even in the setting of variable scan parameters and variable contrast timing. Participants will be consented to undergo an additional CT of their abdomen.

Primary Outcome

There will be 18 cohorts, each cohort differing by the length of the time gap in acquisition and noise index. In addition each acquisition will be reconstructed in 21 different ways (combinations of 3 slice thicknesses and 7 ASiR levels).
