MRI scans to study brain tumors using molecular imaging
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have a suspected or confirmed glioma (brain tumor)
- You must already be scheduled to have a medically needed biopsy or surgery to remove the brain lesion
- You must be able to consent to the study
- Be able to undergo MRI scanning
- Not be pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to study the genetics of gliomas (a type of brain tumor). It may help doctors better understand your tumor and choose the right treatment. You can join if you have a suspected or confirmed low- or high-grade glioma that still has a measurable tumor after surgery.
This study uses a special MRI technique to look at brain tumors before surgery. It may help doctors tell if a tumor is more or less aggressive, which can guide treatment decisions.
This study uses MRI scans to look for signs of brain tumour activity without needing additional surgery. If you are already having brain surgery, the researchers will compare the MRI images with the tumour tissue to better understand the cancer.
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
This study looks at whether MRI scans can predict how a type of brain tumor called glioma will behave. It may help doctors plan better treatment in the future.
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
