Using MRI to Measure Meningioma Stiffness Before Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI technique called 3D MRE (magnetic resonance elastography) to measure how stiff a meningioma tumor is. The goal is to see if the stiffness can help predict the tumor’s type and characteristics before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove a meningioma (a type of brain tumor).
- You do not have any metal implants (like a pacemaker, metal joint, or metal screws) that could be unsafe in an MRI.
- You are not in the first three months of pregnancy.
- You do not have severe claustrophobia or anxiety that would prevent you from getting an MRI.
- You do not have a high fever or other condition that would make the MRI difficult.

This trial tests a new type of MRI scan that may help see meningioma brain tumors more clearly. It is a short imaging study for people who plan to have surgery or monitoring.
This study uses a special MRI called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to measure how stiff a brain tumor (glioma) is and how well it sticks to nearby brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors better prepare for surgery by knowing these details beforehand.
This study looks at an MRI-type scan (called MRE) to measure stiffness and “adhesion” around spinal cord tumor surgery. It may help doctors plan surgery better by predicting what the tumor area will feel like and how it may stick to nearby tissues.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to get a clearer picture of liver fat, inflammation, and scarring in people with chronic liver disease. It aims to help doctors diagnose and understand liver problems better.
This trial uses a special MRI scan called 3D magnetic resonance elastography to measure liver stiffness before liver surgery. The goal is to see if this test can help predict surgical risk and outcomes for people with liver cancer or liver metastases.
This study uses specialized imaging (MEG and MRI) to map electrical activity patterns inside newly diagnosed brain tumors (gliomas) before surgery. Understanding these patterns may help doctors plan safer, more effective tumor removal.
