New MRI technique may reveal cancer treatment effects earlier
NCT ID NCT04251481
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special type of MRI, called diffusion MRI, can accurately measure how head and neck tumors change during chemotherapy and radiation. Researchers will scan 16 patients before and during treatment to see if the MRI can predict whether the cancer shrinks or disappears. The goal is to improve imaging tools, not to treat the disease directly.
