Summary

This study looks at whether a special PET scan using 18F-Fluciclovine can find leftover brain tumor that standard MRI might miss after surgery. About 20 adults who had brain metastasis removed and are scheduled for radiation will get an optional PET scan before radiation. The goal is to improve how doctors plan radiation and detect early signs of tumor return.
