Susceptibility-weighted imaging in malignant melanoma brain metastasis

Source: MDLinx, October 2019

A total of 100 patients with melanoma brain metastases (BM) (69 having received radiotherapy [RT] and 31 RT-naïve) and a control group of 100 melanoma patients without BM were involved retrospectively to systematically investigate the spectrum of intracerebral findings in malignant melanoma (MM) BM on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and to discover the diagnostic value of SWI.
