Research summary
All patients included in this study will have already undergone scans as part of their treatment prior to the research starting. Their scans will be independently analysed and the variations in the arteries to the liver will be determined (and compared to a previously established scale). This is important in the delivery of chemotherapy to the relevant part of the liver. Three different types of scans have been used and will be compared to determine which one provides the most detailed images to facilitate the correct delivery of the chemotherapy.
