NCT ID NCT06916715

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

Summary

This study looked at whether magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a special type of MRI that measures tissue stiffness, can accurately determine the grade of brain tumors without needing a surgical biopsy. Researchers reviewed data from 626 brain tumor patients to see how well MRE works compared to standard tissue analysis. The goal is to provide a safer, non-invasive way to assess brain tumors.
