This study looks at how a special type of MRI, called spectroscopic MRI, can help in treating children with brain tumors using proton therapy. An MRI is a machine that takes pictures of the inside of the body without needing surgery or injections. Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that targets tumors more precisely, potentially causing less harm to healthy tissues.

Key Points:

• The study lasts about 7 months, with MRI scans before and after treatment.
• This is a non-invasive procedure, meaning no surgery or injections are needed.
• Participants will help researchers understand the best ways to treat brain tumors.

Children with high-grade glioma, a type of brain tumor, are eligible if they can have an MRI and need radiation therapy. The research excludes those with certain medical devices like pacemakers or conditions that make MRI unsafe. This study aims to improve how doctors see and treat brain tumors, possibly improving the quality of life for young patients. Participation offers a chance to contribute to important medical research, but it is important to consider the time commitment and follow-up involved.
