New MRI method tracks brain sugar to shed light on tumors

NCT ID NCT06594315

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests a new MRI technique that tracks how the brain uses sugar (glucose) in people with and without brain tumors (glioma). Researchers will compare the signals from healthy volunteers and patients to see if this method can detect differences in brain metabolism. The goal is to better understand tumor behavior, not to treat it directly.
