The goal of this clinical research study is to compare imaging software and 2 different
radiation doses during a standard CT scan in order to "see" problems in the liver and still
produce a good image quality.
This is an investigational study. The CT scans in this study are performed using an
FDA-approved and commercially available method. The comparison of software used in this study
at 2 different radiation doses is considered research.
Up to 104 participants will be enrolled in the study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

If you agree to take part in this study, you will have a CT scan that is done as part of your
routine care. This CT scan will be done at the normal radiation dose.
During this scan, you will also have a scan of the liver at a lower radiation dose, which is
part of the research in this study. This will add about a minute to your normal scan time.
Information will also be collected from your medical record.
After your scan, your participation in this study will be over.
