Eligibility

All
Age
18 Years to No maximum
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1 Patients over 18 years of age, previously diagnosed meningioma based on MRI imaging. 2 Patients scheduled for surgery at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1 Patients with tumor size less than 2.5 cm. As the previous study (Yu et al. (2022)) shows that MRE tends to underestimate shear stiffness in smaller tumors, especially those less than 2 cm. in size. 2 Patients undergoing needle biopsy only. 3 Patients with recurrent or residual tumors at the same site after prior surgery. However, if these patients scheduled for surgery of a new tumor in the other location will not be excluded.
