Clinical Trial: Differentiating Recurrent Brain Tumor Versus Radiation Injury Using MRI

Study Status: Active, not recruiting
Recruit Status: Active, not recruiting
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Prospective Study Differentiating Recurrent Brain Tumor Versus Radiation Injury Using Magnetic Resonance (MR) Spectroscopy, Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Diffusion Weighted

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if certain MRI imaging sequences (pictures) are more helpful to the physicians in determining if a brain tumor has recurred or if the person has radiation injury following their treatment.

Detailed Summary: After a patient has been treated for a brain tumor by radiation the area of the brain that has been treated changes in appearance. These changes in appearance can make it hard to determine if a brain tumor has come back at the same site or if it is radiation injury. The purpose of this study is to determine if certain MRI imaging sequences (pictures) are more helpful to the physicians in determining if the tumor has come back or if it is radiation injury.
