Brief summary

The investigators are measuring hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)stiffness using Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) technique to enhance the diagnostic accuracy for HCC stratifications and treatment efficacy.

Detailed description

Regression modelings as well as validity testings including cut-off identification will be acquired by performing both qualitative and quantitative measurements of HCC using reference diagnostic modalities e.g. pathology grading, dynamic CT scanning, etc.

Interventions

OTHERstiffness measurement using ARFI

Stiffness measurement will be performed for HCC using ARFI technique.
