Summary

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.

Conditions

• Brain Tumor

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	fMRI Paradigms	T2\*-weighted images will be acquired with a single-shot gradient echo echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence in the axial orientation (TR=2500ms, TE=30ms, FA=80°, slice thickness=4 mm, FOV= 240mm2, matrix=64×64) covering the whole brain.
