Summary

This study tests a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) that measures how stiff or soft brain tissue is. The goal is to see if MRE can tell the difference between tissue damaged by radiation and tumor that has come back in people with gliomas. About 80 adults who have already had chemotherapy and radiation for glioma will get an MRE scan. If successful, this could lead to more accurate diagnosis and better treatment decisions.
