Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study involves observing radiotherapy treatment response using novel MRI sequences as imaging biomarkers in participants undergoing standard radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy treatment.
Standard Treatment - DW, DCE, SWI and ASL MRI at radiotherapy simulation (Radiotherapy treatment planning to map out treatment delivery) (week 0)
Radiotherapy begins at Week 1
Extra test for pts on study
- DW, DCE, SWI and ASL MRI (weeks 3 and 6)
- at 4 weeks post RT - DW, DCE, SWI and ASL MRI
Abbreviations: DW = diffusion weighted; DCE = dynamic contrast enhanced; SWI = susceptibility weighted imaging; ASL = Arterial spin labelling
These scan are to gain anatomical and physiological information.
The MRI images will require administration of an intravenous contrast agent. The MRI scan will take approximately 30-45 minutes and a contrast agent will be administered through a cannula during this examination. The MRIs will be undertaken by clinical MRI and radiotherapy staff with expertise required for clinical use of this imaging modality

Summary
Brief summary
This pilot study will determine the relationship between of pre-, during treatment and post-radiotherapy (+/- chemotherapy) MRI sequences (including DW and DCE-MRI) with respect to CNS tumour response and local intra-cranial control, post radiotherapy.
and also determine the utility of MRI for assessing changes to the hippocampal region from CNS radiation therapy

Who is it for?
You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 years or above, have been newly diagnosed with primary or secondary brain cancer.

Study details
Participants will undergo normal MRI testing at baseline with an addition of 3 more times.
During RT (Week 3 and 6) and then again 4 weeks post RT
