Our
group at NYU medical center tried to establish a murine model of melanoma
brain metastasis and implement an MRI protocol to longitudinally follow the
metastatic tumor over time which will aid in therapeutic studies. Although
the established model spread to unconventional sites ( intra-ventricular and
meningeal) instead of parenchymal, the MRI studies conducted showed promising
results since it echoed the MRI characteristic findings observe in clinical
settings.
