New brain scan aims to sharpen radiation targeting for deadly tumors

NCT ID NCT07512154

First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated Apr 07, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether a new type of MRI scan can help doctors more precisely target radiation therapy for glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The scan, called APT imaging, aims to identify the most active and dangerous parts of the tumor. If successful, this could allow doctors to focus higher radiation doses on those specific areas, potentially improving tumor control and patient survival.
