Abstract:Objectives To evaluate whether the use of Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) images derived from contrast-enhanced 3D-T1-weighted volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) would allow more sensitive detection of small (≤5 mm) brain metastases (BM) compared with source as well as 2D-T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) images. Methods We performed a single center retrospective study on subjects with BM who underwent 1.5 tesla brain magnetic resonance imaging. Two readers counted the number of small BM for ea… Show more
