Brief Title: Intraoperative MRI and 5-ALA Guidance to Improve the Extent of Resection in Brain Tumor Surgery
Official Title: Intraoperative MRI and 5-ALA Guidance to Improve the Extent of Resection in Brain Tumor Surgery
Study ID: NCT01798771
Brief Summary: The investigators hypothesize that the rate of radiologically complete resections of contrast-enhancing brain tumors following surgeries aided by use of 5-ALA induced fluorescence guidance and use of an intraoperative ultra-low field MRI is higher compared to surgeries aided by 5-ALA induced fluorescene alone.
