Real-Time MRI scans during brain surgery could boost tumor removal
NCT ID NCT07197632
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a 3 Tesla MRI during surgery for brain metastases helps surgeons remove tumors more completely. About 154 adults will be randomly assigned to standard surgery or surgery with the MRI. The goal is to see if the MRI leads to better tumor removal and fewer repeat surgeries, while also checking for any added risks like longer surgery time or complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
intraoperative MRI (imaging procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make brain metastasis surgery more precise, reducing the chance that tumor is left behind and the need for repeat procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study. The MRI may lengthen surgery time and could increase complication risks. Results may not apply to all hospitals.
