Summary

This early study tested a new imaging technique that combines a special tracer called [18F]PARPi with PET/MR scans to take 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 diagnose and monitor brain cancer.
