First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tests whether a special type of MRI (spectroscopic MRI) can help doctors better target proton therapy for children with aggressive brain tumors. The imaging maps tumor metabolism without needing contrast dye. About 25 children with high-grade glioma will be enrolled to see if this approach improves treatment accuracy and safety.
