Does Levovist, an ultrasound contrast agent made up of milk sugar (galactose), work for carcinoid in imaging tests?

This is a contrast agent to help sonographic imaging of the portal vein and certain types of liver tumors (hepatocellular carcinoma - HCC). It does not have current immediate application in carcinoid disease since there is very limited or no experience with it in this tumor.
