This study presents the evaluation of tumor perfusion and permeability of metastatic brain cancers in response to stereotactic radiation using both DCE MRI and volumetric DCE CT at similar time points throughout treatment. The aim was to evaluate the ability of DCE-MRI and DCE-CT to detect changes in tumor vascular physiology that predict for tumor response to SRS and to compare DCE-MRI analysis against DCE-CT supported by a common analysis framework to measure changes in vascular parameters in brain metastases treated with SRS.
