Clinical Trial: Developing a New Metabolic Imaging Approach (aMRI) for Evaluating Neurological Disease in Patients With Gliomas
Study Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Recruit Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
Condition: Glioma
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: Development of Activity MRI (aMRI): Direct Comparison to PET in Human Subjects
Brief Summary:
This is an observational study to compare the utility of the novel aMRI approach in human brain to the standard of care imaging approach for diagnosing and assessing glioma.Tumor cells have altered metabolism compared to normal cells.This makes metabolic activity imaging useful for diagnosing and assessing neurological disease.However, current options for metabolic activity imaging are limited.Metabolic activity imaging is primarily conducted using positron emission tomography (PET) with a radioactive tracer…
