Intracerebral metastases: Optimal technique
Creators
Description
Fifty patients with small-cell carcinoma of the bronchus were investigated prospectively with CT, MR imaging, and MR imaging with Gd-DTPA to determine the most sensitive technique for detecting intracerebral metastases. Metastases were detected on CT studies in 19% of patients, on unenhanced MR images in 28%, and on MR images with Gd-DTPA in 32%. No lesion identified on contrast-enhanced CT scans or T2-weighted MR images was missed on images with Gd-DTPA. In this group of patients, T1-weighted MR imaging with Gd-DTPA enhancement was the most sensitive method for the detection of intracerebral metastases
