In clinical settings it is essential to accurately assess, whether or not a brain metastasis has been successfully treated or whether the metastasis require additional treatment. This is the first study that evaluated brain metastases with IVIM DW-MRI and DCE-MRI data both pre- and post- stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The preliminary results are promising as it will inform the treating physicians at an early time point about which patients will benefit from SRS (or not). The survival status and functional metrics show different trends for both AWD and DOD that need to be validated in larger patient population.
