Sound waves vs. MRI: can ultrasound see brain tumors?

NCT ID NCT05755399

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive sound wave technique (transcranial focused ultrasound) can successfully image brain tumors before surgery. About 15 adults scheduled for brain surgery will have ultrasound scans taken and compared to standard MRI images. The goal is to see if this cheaper, faster method can reliably identify and measure tumors.
