Using a imaging system during brain tumor surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests the CONVIVO system to help surgeons see certain brain tumors during surgery. It may help make operations safer and more effective by improving how tumors are identified.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old.
- You have a suspected brain tumor (like glioma, glioblastoma, brain metastasis, meningioma, acoustic neuroma, or pituitary adenoma).
- A doctor says you are a good candidate for brain surgery.
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a known allergy to fluorescein sodium (FNa), a dye used in some imaging.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
This study tests whether imaging scans can be timed based on your symptoms and progress, rather than on a fixed schedule. The goal is to make monitoring easier while keeping you safe during standard brain cancer treatment.
This study uses special PET scans (fluciclovine and FDG) and advanced MRI to create a detailed metabolic profile of glioblastoma. It may help doctors better understand your tumor before surgery.
This trial tests a new kind of PET scan that uses a special tracer (Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam) to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. If you are scheduled to have your brain tumor removed, this scan may give your surgeon extra information to guide the operation.
This study tests a special microscope that helps surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery. The goal is to see if it can help remove more of the tumor safely.
This trial tests a special camera system used during surgery to help doctors see brain tumor tissue using fluorescent light. It may help the surgeon remove more tumor while protecting healthy brain areas.
