Brain tumor imaging with oxygen-enhanced MRI for radiation planning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans to see how oxygen levels inside a brain tumor change during radiotherapy. The goal is to help doctors target the radiation more precisely to the most active parts of the tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are able to communicate with the study team and follow the instructions safely.
- You do not have any metal implants or severe claustrophobia that would prevent an MRI scan.
- You can lie flat in an MRI machine.
- You do not have heart or lung problems that would make breathing pure oxygen through a mask unsafe.
- You have not been previously treated with the chemotherapy drug bleomycin, and you are not allergic to the MRI contrast dye gadolinium.

This study tests whether giving a higher dose of radiation to the tumor area improves outcomes for people with glioblastoma. It is for those who have had surgery or are planned for radiation, and have some remaining tumor.
This study uses special MRI scans to measure oxygen levels in and around glioblastoma before and during radiation treatment. It may help researchers understand how oxygen affects treatment response and timing.
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
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 is testing whether using MRI scans can help doctors better plan radiotherapy for cancer patients. It involves having an MRI before your radiotherapy starts, and the results will be compared to your standard CT scan.
This early-phase study uses special PET/MRI scans to look at how a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma is changing under standard treatment. The goal is to see whether these scans can better assess the disease, which may help guide future care.
