Preoperative Evaluation of Tumor Stiffness and Adhesion in Spinal Cord Tumor Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test, Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
In spinal cord tumors requiring surgical intervention, the resection difficulty is determined by two significant factors: tumor stiffness and adhesion to surrounding tissue. The stiffness of the tumor dictates the complexity of removal, while strong adhesion presents additional challenges during the surgical procedure. This clinical trial aims to assess the clinical utility of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), in evaluating the stiffness and adhesion of spinal cord tumors and guiding surgical planning to selecting the most appropriate surgical approach for patients with spinal cord tumors.

Treatments
Experimental: Diagnostic（MRE, tumor grading of stiffness and adhesion）
Patients undergo a preoperative routine MRI scan and MRE the day before their scheduled surgery. During surgery, the tumor stiffness and adhesion are assessed and recorded by the surgeon according to established evaluation criteria. It is important to note that the surgeon does not have prior knowledge of the tumor's specific stiffness and adhesion before the surgery. This information is typically obtained through intraoperative assessment and observation.
