ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Bone Arches," is investigating a new type of MRI scan called "pseudo-scanner" sequences to see how well it can help identify the size and location of bone tumors, specifically sarcomas. The aim is to find out if this new imaging method can replace traditional CT scans during surgery, which would help reduce the amount of radiation exposure that patients receive. By using this MRI technique, doctors hope to improve the planning of surgical procedures and make surgeries safer and more effective.

To participate in this trial, you must have a diagnosis of bone sarcoma and need surgery for it. Unfortunately, if you have any implants that aren’t safe for MRI, suffer from severe claustrophobia, or are pregnant, you won’t be eligible to join. If you qualify, you can expect to undergo this new MRI imaging technique, which may help your doctors better understand your tumor and plan your surgery in a more precise way. This study is currently not recruiting participants yet, but it aims to potentially bring a safer option for patients with bone sarcomas in the future.
