Study Summary
This trial is testing whether magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can help determine the consistency of brain tumors and whether this information could be used to guide surgical planning for patients with brain tumors.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with brain tumors who are scheduled for surgical removal at Keck Medical Center of USC. It's not suitable for those unable to undergo MRE or MRI, including individuals with metal implants, claustrophobia, a large body size, minors, pregnant women, state wards, and prisoners.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new imaging technique to measure brain tumor consistency. This will be compared with standard MRI scans to see if it can improve surgical planning.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-invasive imaging techniques like MRE and MRI rather than drugs or surgery, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from lying still during the scan or reactions in those with claustrophobia.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Diagnostic (MRE, tumor grading)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients undergo MRE scan over 25 minutes before surgery at the time of standard of care pre-operative MRI scan. On the day of surgery, the surgeon grades and records tumor consistency/stiffness during the operation and afterwards.
