Utility of Short Initial MRI Brain in Brain Metastases Patients Treated With Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Purpose/Objective(s)The optimal timing of interval MRI surveillance following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to detect most new lesions while asymptomatic and treatable by additional radiosurgery is unknown. As frequent MRI follow-up is an important patient burden and contributor to cost of care for brain metastases, we aimed to characterize the utility of early initial post-treatment MRI brain surveillance and to identify patient...
