PET and MRI Imaging of Brain Tumors Using [18F]PARPi

February 6, 2026 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Pilot Study of [18F]PARPi PET/MR Imaging in Patients With New and/or Suspected Recurrent Brain Tumors

This study is to collect data about how 18FPARPi can be used together with PET/positron emission tomography and MRI/magnetic resonance imaging scans to take pictures of brain cancer
