Brain scan test for grading children's brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan that measures blood flow in the brain to help determine how aggressive a child's brain tumor is. This could help doctors plan better treatment without needing a biopsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or younger.
- You have been diagnosed with a brain tumor based on imaging scans.
- You have not had any prior surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation for your brain tumor.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants or devices that are not MRI-safe).

This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze MRI scans of children with brain tumors to help identify the tumor type before surgery. It aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
This study uses a special type of brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) that doesn't need helium gas to see brain activity in children with brain tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors plan surgery or treatment better.
This study checks whether advanced brain MRI images can help doctors choose the best spot to biopsy suspected or proven primary brain tumors. It may help make biopsies safer and more accurate before tissue diagnosis.
This study uses MRI scans of the brain to help doctors better understand and diagnose inherited conditions that affect children's brains. It may help find clearer signs of these diseases on imaging, which could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
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 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.
