Summary

This study is testing whether a special PET-MRI scan using a tracer called 18F-Fluciclovine can help doctors see how well treatment is working in children and young adults with low-grade gliomas (a type of brain tumor). About 30 participants will get the scan before starting therapy, then again at 3 months and 1 year. The goal is to see if changes in the scan match changes seen on standard MRI, which could lead to better monitoring of the disease.
