Brain mass imaging study using MRI to learn what causes it
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scanning to better describe a suspected brain mass and understand what it might be. You may be asked to lie in the scanner for about one hour, if you meet the study’s safety and eligibility rules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be healthy enough to lie in the MRI scanner for about 1 hour
- You have a suspicion of a brain mass (a possible growth seen by doctors)
- You can read and sign an informed consent form
- You are 18 years or older
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have active implanted devices and you do not have head/neck tattoos

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.
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 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 uses a special type of PET/MRI scan to look for a common genetic change (IDH mutation) in brain tumors (gliomas). The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these tumors.
This study looks at MRI scans to find “molecular markers” that may reflect how active a brain tumor is. If you’re having surgery for a primary brain tumor, these scan results may help researchers better understand tumor behavior.
This Phase 1 study tests a new type of MRI scan using a special “hyperpolarized” imaging agent to help doctors diagnose glioma (a type of brain tumor). It’s mainly focused on whether the scan can safely and clearly show tumor-related information in people who may need treatment.
