PET/MRI scan study using a special brain MRI technique
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special type of MRI during a PET/MRI scan (called CEST) can help doctors better evaluate brain tumors and tumor return after treatment. It may improve how well scans show where disease is before surgery or when tumors come back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are coming in for a PET/MRI scan focused on a brain lesion evaluation
- Your scan is for one of these reasons: pre-surgery evaluation, glioma recurrence, brain metastases, or recurrence of metastases
- You can safely have an MRI (no MRI safety contraindications)
- You can clearly understand and agree to the study (able to give consent yourself)
- You are not a minor, under legal guardianship, or under judicial protection
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study tests a new MRI (brain scan) method to see how brain tumors change over time after treatment. There are also parts for healthy adults to help with developing and comparing the scan technique.
This study uses special PET and MRI scans to map the activity and oxygen levels of brain tumors (gliomas). The results help doctors plan treatment that is more tailored to each patient.
This study looks at how a specific kind of MRI picture (called the CEST sequence) can help characterize radiation-related brain injury and changes in brain metastases from lung cancer. It may help doctors better interpret follow-up scans after radiation, without changing your cancer treatment.
This study tests a new way of using a PET scan to look at brain tumors that have spread from other cancers, before and after focused radiation treatment. The goal is to see if this scan can better predict how well the radiation works.
This study looks at whether combining different brain scans (PET, MRI, and special MRI techniques) before surgery can help doctors better understand your brain tumor and plan treatment. The scans also track how the tumor affects your thinking and memory over time.
This trial uses a combined PET and MRI scan to see if it can better identify the spread of cervical cancer before treatment. It may help guide more personalized care.
