GK-ASL: ASL in Brain Metastasis MRI Following Gamma Knife Treatment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive MRI technique that could help the radiologists to distinguish brain metastasis progression versus radionecrosis following gamma-knife treatment.
The primary target of the study is to establish the diagnostic performances (specificity, sensitivity) of quantitative measures of ASL in brain metastases suspected of progression/radionecrosis after GK treatment

Detailed Description
The metastasis progression versus radionecrosis following GK treatment can sometimes be difficult to distinguish. 60 patients will be included in this prospective, monocentric study. 3 MRI (baseline, 1month and 6 month follow-ups) will be performed. Two neuroradiologists will blindly analyse the MRIs comparing ASL sensibility and specificity to the standard morphological evaluation and T2 perfusion.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Diagnostic performance of ASL quantitative analysis in brain metastasis following GK treatment : tumor perfusion with quantitative measurement (one value) of RCBF (relative cerebral blood flow) on the ASL sequence [Evolution between Baseline MRI, 1 and 6 month follow up MRI]
Quantitative analysis (rCBF) of the evolution of brain metastasis between the initiation of treatment and 6 months after.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- ASL Perfusion: Cerebral blood flow measurements [Baseline MRI, 1 and 6 month follow up MRI]
- Interreader correlation [Baseline MRI, 1 and 6 month follow-up MRI]
Two neuroradiologists
- Morphological analysis of the lesions [Baseline MRI, 1 and 6 month follow-up MRI]
Lesion size, oedema
