Summary
This study tests a new imaging technique that uses a special substance (hyperpolarized carbon-13 alpha-ketoglutarate) to take detailed pictures of brain tumors in people with IDH mutant glioma. About 40 adults will receive an injection and then have an MRI scan to see how the substance behaves in the tumor compared to healthy brain tissue. The goal is to improve understanding of tumor activity, not to treat the disease.
