Diffusion-tensor Imaging in Brain Tumors Evaluation

Study Purpose

Primary and secondary brain tumors are challenging pathologies regarding diagnosis and treatment. MRI is widely used in the imaging evaluation and surgical planning, due to its spatial resolution and ability of tissular characterization. In this study patients with suspected brain tumors, confirmed by routine MRI evaluation (T1, T2, T2*, FLAIR, T1 with contrast sequences) will undergo DWI and DTI evaluation. By analyzing collected data from MRI evaluation and patient records regarding surgical and histopathological data our aim is to investigate derived imaging biomarkers with impact in the surgical planning and rehabilitation of the patients.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Observational
Eligible Ages 18 Years and Over

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05261724
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
