B-mode Ultrasound Imaging in Detecting Early Liver Cancer
This pilot trial studies how well B-mode ultrasound imaging works in detecting liver cancer that is early in its growth and may not have spread to other parts of the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as B-mode ultrasound imaging, may help find and diagnose liver cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
For Healthy Volunteers
1. Patients over 18 years of age.
2. Must have no known medical problems and have had a full medical exam within 6 months
of the study. If healthy volunteers have not had a full medical exam within 6 months
of the study, one of the ultrasound physicians will conduct the medical exam prior to
any study procedures.
For HCC patients
1. Patients over 18 years of age.
2. Patient with confirmed diagnosis of HCC, and untreated or Patients with Suspected HCC

cm in depth of the transducer head to minimize attenuation) and untreated or Patients
at a higher risk of HCC undergoing a screening program by Ultrasound.
Exclusion Criteria:
For Healthy volunteers
1. Patients who are not likely to comply with the protocol requirements.
For HCC patients
