Non-invasive Glioma Characterization Through Molecular Imaging
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
MRI-based sequences can provide non-invasive quantification of intratumoral 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) distribution and tumor cellularity in human gliomas and help guide the development of novel glioma therapies.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: IDH-Mutant Glioma Patients Patients who have suspected or confirmed gliomas and are scheduled to undergo biopsy or resection of their brain tumors will receive a 3 Tesla (3T) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of their brain. |
Device: 3T MRI Scanner
3T MRI Scanner providing Mega-laser sequence for single-voxel Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) data for 2 hydroxyglutarate (2HG) quantitation.
