AI-powered analysis of brain MRI to help glioma care
Official title: AI-driven Processing and Analysis of Glioma Imaging Data EUCAIM Database Contribution by the Italian Brain Glioma Initiative Italian Title: Elaborazione ed Analisi Supportata Dall'Intelligenza Artificiale di Immagini di Risonanza Magnetica di Gliomi Cerebrali
Run by Università degli Studi di Trento · NCT07703761 · Data updated 2026-11-12
Doctors will use AI to study existing MRI scans and patient data from adults with glioma to see if it can help with non-invasive diagnosis and treatment planning.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 to 60 with a confirmed glioma who had undergone brain tumor resection and subsequent treatment or surveillance, and who have available MRI data and clinical records.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with poor-quality imaging, incomplete records, or outside the age range may not benefit from the study.

What this trial studies
This observational project collects retrospective MRI images and clinical data from adults with glioma to train AI models. The goal is to improve non-invasive detection, tumor segmentation, and histological characterization using brain scans. Researchers will assess how AI-combined imaging features relate to tumor type, grade, and treatment decisions, with a focus on minimizing invasive procedures when possible. The study relies on previously collected records and imaging data sourced from 2019 to 2024. No experimental treatment is provided as part of the study; analyses are performed on existing data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, AI tools could help clinicians make faster, non-invasive assessments and tailor treatments for glioma patients.
How similar studies have gone: AI-based imaging analysis in neuro-oncology has shown promise in several retrospective studies, but prospective validation is still emerging.
