Research Interest:
Evaluating Survival in Subjects with Primary Intra-axial Brain Tumors by MRI Dynamic Susceptibility Weighted Brain Perfusion Imaging
Funding: Bracco Imaging SpA
Principal Investigator –Matthew L. White, MD.
The goal of the study is to evaluate subjects with primary intra-axial brain tumors to see how MRI brain tumor perfusion predicts overall survival and progression free survival. The MRI brain tumor perfusion methodology is contrast based (Multihance) utilizing echo-planar techniques. Multihance, given its underlying molecular attachment to gadolinium and weak affinity to serum albumin, has been shown to be superlative for echo-planar MRI perfusion analysis. Given the excellent characteristics of Multihance it was utilized for our MRI brain tumor perfusion exams.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that MRI brain tumor perfusion will provide information that is predictive of overall and progression free survival times in subjects with primary intra-axial brain tumors.
