Brain Mapping with Movie-Watching MRI for Surgery Planning
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan where you watch a movie to help doctors map important functions in your brain before surgery. The goal is to improve surgical planning and safety for patients with brain tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 70 years old
- You have a known or suspected brain tumor (glioma) that your doctor is planning to evaluate or remove
- You speak English fluently
- Your doctor at Brigham and Women's Hospital has already ordered a clinical brain MRI for surgical planning
- You are able to safely have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemakers, or other contraindications)
- You are willing to participate in an extra research MRI scan and a separate visit for brain-function testing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial explores whether using a 3D mixed-reality viewer (like special goggles) to plan brain tumor surgery beforehand can help surgeons do a better job. If you are an adult with a brain tumor needing planned surgery and have had a recent MRI or CT scan, you may be able to join.
This study tests a personalized approach to map and protect the brain's movement pathways during surgery for slow-growing brain tumors. The goal is to remove as much tumor as possible while keeping your quality of life and movement abilities intact.
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 trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to study the genetics of gliomas (a type of brain tumor). It may help doctors better understand your tumor and choose the right treatment. You can join if you have a suspected or confirmed low- or high-grade glioma that still has a measurable tumor after surgery.
