New scan method aims to sharpen brain tumor images
NCT ID NCT04173104
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tested a new imaging technique that combines a special tracer ([18F]PARPi) with PET and MRI scans to get clearer pictures of brain tumors. Five adults with new or suspected returning brain tumors took part. The goal was to see how well the tracer highlights tumor cells, which could help doctors better detect and monitor brain cancer.
