Evaluation of Preoperative Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in Patients With Brain Tumors (NCT03604302)
Identification of Essential Areas of the Brain in Pre-Operative Brain Tumor Patients Using BOLD fMRI and Independent Physiological Parameters
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to test the accuracy of using an imaging technique called breath-holding functional magnetic resonance imaging (BH fMRI) in addition to the standard imaging test described above. This study will allow the researchers to find out whether using BH fMRI in combination with the standard approach is the same as, better, or worse than the standard approach used alone.
