Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to see if a specialized imaging technique using MRI called multi-exponential T2 component analysis can reliably differentiate between normal brain and brain tumour.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Existing methods of contouring tumours for radiation therapy involve manual interpretations of qualitative diagnostic images. These methods, being qualitative, do not offer a consistent and reproducible platform for contouring, making it difficult to evaluate the effects of contouring choices on treatment outcome. T2 component analysis in MRI has the potential to offer a quantitive basis for identifying tumor tissue- this potential is investigated in this pilot study.
