Hyperpolarized 13C-pyruvate Metabolic MRI With Infiltrating Gliomas
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Start Date
8/11/2020
Completion Date
12/31/2027
Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and feasibility of performing hyperpolarized metabolic MRI in the diagnosis of brain tumor. This study will also assess the accuracy of hyperpolarized metabolic MRI to diagnose intermediate to patients with infiltrating gliomas and examine the added utility of metabolic MRI over standard MRI imaging The FDA is allowing the use of hyperpolarized \[1-13C\] pyruvate (HP 13C-pyruvate) in this study. Up to 5 patients may take part in this study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).
Eligibility Criteria

* Ages 18-80, including male and female
* Suitable to undergo contrast-enhanced MRI
* Negative serum pregnancy test
Exclusion Criteria:
* Inability to undergo MRI scan
