First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tests a special MRI scan that uses a natural substance (pyruvate) to see if it can better diagnose brain tumors called gliomas. About 5 adults with suspected or known gliomas will get this extra scan before their planned surgery. The goal is to see if the new MRI is safe and more accurate than standard MRI at identifying tumor type and grade.
