There are a number of magnetic resonance imaging techniques available for use in the diagnosis and management of patients with cerebral metastases. This article reviews these techniques, in particular, the advanced imaging methodologies from which quantitative parameters can be derived, the role of these imaging biomarkers have in distinguishing metastases from primary central nervous system tumours and tumour mimics, and metrics that may be of value in predicting the origin of the primary tumour.
有许多磁共振成像技术可用于诊断和治疗脑转移患者。本文回顾了这些技术,特别是可以从中得出定量参数的先进成像方法学,这些成像生物标志物在区分转移瘤和原发性中枢神经系统肿瘤和肿瘤模拟物中的作用,以及可能有助于预测原发性肿瘤来源的指标。
