First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested whether a special type of MRI (called DSC perfusion MRI) can help doctors tell the difference between radiation damage and tumor regrowth in people whose cancer has spread to the brain. Eight patients who had already received radiation therapy took part. The goal was to see if this imaging method could improve how doctors interpret post-treatment brain scans.
