Volumetric Postcontrast T1 Turbo Spin-Echo versus Gradient-Recalled Echo MR sequences for Detecting Brain Metastases: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Postcontrast 3D T1 TSE sequences provide higher sensitivity and improved lesion conspicuity compared with GRE sequence, particularly for small metastases, though at the cost of slightly higher false positives.
