A Prospective Comparative Study of a Novel Gadolinium-Weighted MRI Sequence Versus Conventional T1-Weighted Imaging for the Detection of Brain Metastases
This study will evaluate a new type of MRI sequence designed to improve the visibility of brain metastases after gadolinium contrast injection. The purpose is to determine whether this novel gadolinium-weighted imaging method can detect more or smaller tumors than standard MRI techniques. Participants will undergo a routine brain MRI with contrast, followed by an additional scan using the new method. The goal is to improve diagnostic accuracy without increasing the contrast dose or scan time.
• Age 18 years or older
• Scheduled for clinical brain MRI with gadolinium contrast
• Known or suspected brain metastases
• Able to provide informed consent
• Able to lie still for the duration of the MRI examination
