Advanced MRI for Brain Tumors
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The researchers think that the use of advanced MR imaging may help people with this disease, because it may better predict areas within a malignant glioma (brain tumor) that are at a high risk of recurring. WeThe reserchers are doing this study to see whether this advanced imaging is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with brain tumors.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment MRI and advanced MRI sequences for brain tumors?
Advanced MRI sequences provide more detailed information about brain tumors, such as their size, shape, and how they affect surrounding brain tissue. This helps doctors better plan surgeries and treatments, potentially improving patient outcomes by reducing surgical risks and accurately assessing the tumor's response to therapy.12345
Is advanced MRI safe for use in humans?
How does advanced MRI differ from other treatments for brain tumors?
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for adults over 18 with suspected or confirmed high or low grade gliomas, which are types of brain tumors. They should be candidates for radiation therapy and able to consent to the study. It's not suitable for those allergic to MRI contrast agents, have contraindications to MRI like pacemakers, are pregnant/nursing, can't undergo an MRI due to extreme claustrophobia, or cannot cooperate during the procedure.Inclusion Criteria
