MRE Scan for the Assessment of Differences in Tissue Stiffness Between Radiation Necrosis and Recurrent Glioma in Patients With Previously Treated Gliomas
Glioma
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Glioma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- History of a pathology proven intracranial glioma (including IDH mutant, IDH wildtype or 1p19q co-deleted tumors) treated with chemotherapy and radiation
- The lesion of concern (T2 flair hyperintense or contrast enhancing lesion) is > 2 cm
- Patient is able to understand and give consent to participation in the study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant
- Known allergy to gadolinium-based contrast agents
- Renal failure as evidenced by a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 30mL/min/1.73m^2
Pacemakers, electronic stimulation, metallic foreign bodies and devices and/or other conditions that are not MR safe, which include but are not limited to:
- electronically, magnetically, and mechanically activated implants
- ferromagnetic or electronically operated active devices like automatic cardioverter defibrillators and cardiac pacemakers
- metallic splinters in the eye
- ferromagnetic hemostatic clips in the central nervous system (CNS) or body
- cochlear implants
- other pacemakers, e.g., for the carotid sinus
- insulin pumps and nerve stimulators
- non-MR safe lead wires
- prosthetic heart valves (if dehiscence is suspected)
- non-ferromagnetic stapedial implants

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Diagnostic (MRE, standard of care MRI)
Patients undergo MRE over 10 minutes and then undergo standard of care MRI of the brain with and without contrast at baseline. Within 4 weeks after the initial MRI and MRE scans, patients may undergo standard of care biopsy to check the status of the disease. Within 48 hours after biopsy, patients undergo standard of care MRI to check the status of the disease. Patients who do not undergo biopsy undergo standard of care MRI 4-8 weeks after MRE scan to check the status of the disease.
