Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare radiation treatment plans that are designed for patients with liver cancer. One treatment plan will be created using routine procedures and scans normally performed for radiation treatment planning. The other treatment plan will be created using routine procedures with the addition of two imaging scans; a HIDA (Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid) scan and an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan. This study will evaluate if adding these imaging scans to treatment planning can reduce the amount of radiation to healthy liver tissue during treatment.

Primary Outcome

The functional reserve of the liver for both standard SBRT planning and theragnostic SBRT planning will be calculated for each patient regardless of which plan was ultimately chosen. Function reserve of the liver = (number of counts outside 15 Gy isodose line / total number of counts within the liver) \* global liver function; where global liver function is the rate of liver uptake (%/min) between 150 to 300 seconds normalized to body surface area (m\^2) using the Du Bois method.
