Multi-Parametric Quantitative MR Imaging in Evaluation of Brain Tumors
Sponsor: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
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.

Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting
Non-contrast MRF acquisition will be acquired through the region of tumor in all patients. For patients receiving intravenous gadolinium based contrast, a post contrast MRF acquisition will also be acquired. This acquisition will be skipped in patients who do not receive or are not eligible for receiving IV contrast as a part of their clinical scan. The research scan will take approximately 10-15 minutes
