Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This research is being done to determine if CEST Magnetic Resonance Imaging and F-dopa PET are feasible techniques to detect metabolic differences between tumor and brain.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Central Nervous System Malignant Tumor Subjects may receive up to two CEST MRI's tests and/or up to two F-DOPA PET. The physician will determine which test is appropriate based on your tumor type, past treatment history and research question. Tests will be completed at initial baseline visit and at least one other MRI/PET after the initial baseline, up to a maximum of four scans. |
Diagnostic Test: F-DOPA Positron Emission Tomography
Imaging using a F-DOPA radioactive tracer to look at the head.
Other Names:
Diagnostic Test: Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer Magnetic Resonance Imaging
A noninvasive diagnostic test for measuring biochemical changes in the brain, especially the presence of tumors.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of subjects in whom glutamate metabolite is detected and measurable. [Baseline]
Number of subjects in whom glutamate metabolite is detected and measurable via CEST MRI in tumor, brain, and/or the ventricular space.
- Number of subjects in whom n-acetylaspartate (NAA) metabolite is detected and measurable. [Baseline]
Number of subjects in whom n-acetylaspartate (NAA) metabolite is detected and measurable via CEST MRI in tumor, brain, and/or the ventricular space.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time required to perform the CEST MRI study and measure metabolites of interest [Duration of CEST MRI scan, approximately one to two hours.]
Total time expressed in minutes required to perform the CEST MRI study and measure metabolites of interest.
