NCT ID NCT04251481

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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.
