FCI in Post-operative Low Grade Gliomas

Summary

The aim of this pilot study is to explore the utility of a new imaging technique, called Field Cycling Imaging (FCI), in postoperative low grade gliomas. The main question it aims to answer is if FCI can differentiate subtypes of low grade gliomas. Participants will have one FCI scan.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with post operative low-grade glioma.
* Capacity to give informed consent.
* Capacity to co-operate with the scanning procedures and duration.
* Age 16 and above.
* Participants who can pass through a 50 cm-diameter circular hoop to ensure they will be able to fit inside the scanner.
* Participants who meet the safety criteria for undergoing an MRI scan.
* Participants must be mobile enough to be positioned onto the FCI scanner couch.

Exclusion Criteria:

* MRI-incompatible conditions, as detected in the MRI safety screening form.
* Restrictions to mobility that would prevent the correct positioning in the scanner by trained research radiographer (e.g., severe kyphosis).
* Participants who are unable to give fully informed consent.
* Women who are pregnant.
* Participants who are unable to understand or communicate in English.
* Patients who suffer from claustrophobia.
