Brain tumor grading in children using a special MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study will see if a special type of MRI scan (called Arterial Spin Labeling) can help doctors determine how aggressive a child's brain tumor is without needing a biopsy. It is for children age 18 or younger who have a new diagnosis of a brain tumor and have not had any prior treatment for it.
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 your imaging scans.
- You have not had any surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation for this brain tumor.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants or devices that would prevent this).

This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze MRI scans and help doctors identify the type of brain tumor in children. It aims to improve treatment planning by providing a non-invasive way to predict the tumor subtype before surgery.
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 two special types of MRI scans to better understand how far a high-grade brain tumor (aggressive brain cancer) has spread into surrounding brain tissue. The goal is to help doctors plan surgery or biopsy more precisely.
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 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 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.
