Our research department supports clinicians and faculty alike in their efforts to provide excellent care and perform extraordinary science.

By participating in research studies, Carle Neuroscience Institute seeks to create a better understanding of the structure and function of neurological systems allowing us to advance clinical care possible and ultimately improve the overall promotion of human health and quality of life.

Carle Neuroscience Institute Research is known for demonstrating improved clinical outcomes for patients through research efforts that focus on the development of predictive analysis, novel diagnostics, and comparative efficacy.

Prospective observational study: Identification of brain micrometastatic disease using ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging

The purpose of this research study is to see if 7Telsa MRI can help health care providers better visualize micrometastatic (really small) tumors in your brain. This study also seeks to better understand how patients’ coping strategies can impact their experience with cancer, acceptance of their diagnosis, and their quality of life. You will be asked to do the following for research purposes: have a 7Telsa MRI and complete quality of life questionnaires once a month for 4 months. The study will continue to follow your health for up to 1 year via review of your medical records.
