First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special type of MRI (called DSC perfusion MRI) can accurately tell the difference between radiation-caused tissue damage and tumor regrowth in people whose cancer has spread to the brain. Eight participants who had already received radiation therapy were scanned, and researchers measured blood flow changes in the brain. The goal is to help doctors make better treatment decisions without needing invasive biopsies.
