Summary

This study is testing whether a special type of MRI called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can measure how stiff a meningioma brain tumor is before surgery. Researchers will compare the MRE results with what surgeons find during the operation and with lab tests on the tumor tissue. If it works, this noninvasive scan could help surgeons plan safer and more precise tumor removals.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE)
What this could lead to: If successful, MRE could become a standard noninvasive tool to help surgeons predict tumor consistency and adhesion before operating, potentially improving surgical planning and safety.
What could go wrong: This is an early feasibility study, not a treatment trial. MRE may not accurately predict surgical findings in all cases, and results may not apply to other tumor types or hospitals.
