Diagnostic Confidence of Contrast-Enhanced T1-Weighted MRI for the Detection of Brain Metastases: 3D FSE versus 3D GRE–Based Sequences
Compared with 3D FLASH, the SPACE sequence detected more metastatic lesions and was rated higher for image quality, lesion margin, and CNR, with fewer artifacts. Importantly, the SPACE sequence resulted in increased reader confidence, with fewer indeterminate lesions detected.
