Although breast cancer brain metastasis is an increasingly common occurrence, relatively little is known about miliary brain metastases, a rare subtype that presents unique diagnostic and management challenges. The present study from Bashour et al. proposes the first objective diagnostic imaging criteria, enabling improved future study.
