MRE Evaluation for Spinal Cord Tumor Surgery: Stiffness and Adhesion Assessment

This study is evaluating a new imaging technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in patients undergoing surgery to remove a spinal cord tumor. MRE measures the stiffness of the tumor tissue, which may help surgeons plan and perform safer operations. **You may be eligible if...** - You are scheduled for surgery to remove a spinal cord tumor **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have metal implants in your body (pacemaker, metal joints, artificial heart valves, aneurysm clips, etc.) that are not compatible with MRI - You are in the first trimester of pregnancy - You have severe claustrophobia or anxiety about enclosed spaces - You have severe fever, vascular malformations, or aneurysms - You cannot tolerate the MRE procedure Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
