Meningioma of Brain

In this proposal, the investigators introduce advanced diffusion and volumetric imaging techniques along with innovative, automated image parcellation methods to identify critical brain regions, incorporate into cognitive-sparing SRS for intracranial lesions, and analyze biomarkers of radiation response. This work will advance the investigators' understanding of neurocognitive changes after brain SRS and help create interventions that preserve cognitive-function in patients with intracranial lesions.

Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor, and some groups are diagnosed with higher-grade tumors and have clinically worse outcomes. This study investigates social determinants of health and individual risk factors that may be associated with meningioma.
