Official Title: Feasibility of Oxygen Enhanced MRI in Assessment of Malignant Brain Tumors

Brief Summary: This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of performing oxygen-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to generate hypoxia maps in patients with intracranial tumors.Decreased levels of oxygen (hypoxia) is a hallmark of malignant brain tumors.Chronic hypoxia is a stimulator of blood vessel formation, which is required for tumor growth and spread.Hypoxia also limits the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy.MRI is an imaging technique that uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than…
