Multi-Parametric Quantitative MR Imaging in Evaluation of Brain Tumors

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of the research study is to test new methods that could improve diagnosis and assessment of brain tumors. One of these methods is a new MR (magnetic resonance) imaging technique called magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF), which allows for rapidly scanning the patient and provides quantitative information on tumor tissue. The investigators will compare the data gathered from MR Fingerprinting with other imaging tests, clinical information, treatment details and biopsy results to evaluate the accuracy of this new technique.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Diagnosis of intra-axial brain tumor at initial diagnosis or patients with known treated brain tumors on follow-up with concern for imaging progression
  2. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document, or, in cases where the patient may have cognitive impairment, consent by a legal authorized representative or power of attorney
  3. * Patients with brain metastases undergoing partial brain radiation (gamma knife or SRS) with ability to undergo research scan at baseline, 1 month and , 3 months, and 6 months
  1. * Patients with ferromagnetic or otherwise non-MRI compatible aneurysm clips.
  2. * The presence of an implanted pacemaker or implanted defibrillator device.
  3. * Patients with contraindications for MRI due to embedded foreign metallic objects. Bullets, shrapnel, metalwork fragments, or other metallic material adds unnecessary risk to the patient.
  4. * Pregnancy. Regular clinical practice already excludes pregnant patients from gadolinium contrast.
  5. * Implanted medical device not described above that is not MRI-compatible.
  6. * Known history of severe claustrophobia.
  7. * Prisoners and members of other vulnerable populations will be excluded from this study. The subject selection population will not regularly include prisoners and other vulnerable population members as these populations will not provide any additional unique information to or uniquely benefit from the study. Non-English speaking population will be excluded from the study due to lack of sufficient resources to pay for translator and interpreter services.
  8. * Minors will be excluded.
