About this trial
The aim of the study is to determine whether the use of the CEST sequence would have diagnostic performance equivalent to the reference method of T2\* infusion with contrast injection in the diagnosis of radionecrosis of lung cancer brain metastases.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Visually significant hyperperfusion on normalized cerebral blood flow mapping generated from T2* infusion data with injection, confirmed by quantitative measurement of a ratio > 2.5 between tumor DSC and contralateral white matter.
Diagnostic performance of the CEST sequence in the diagnosis of radionecrosis on irradiated metastases of primary lung cancer compared to injected T2\* infusion sequence
Secondary outcomes
Diagnostic performances for the IVIM sequence using IVIM scattering derivatives: f', ADC
Diagnostic performances for the ASL (arterial spin labeling) sequence using ASL infusion derivatives: intralesional CBF (cerebral blood flow) relative to contralateral white matter CBF
Diagnostic performances of coupled CEST, IVIM and ASL sequences, evaluated by the derivates of the CEST sequence : APT-AUC (Area Under Curve), NOE-MTR (Magnetization Transfer Ratio) and NOE-AUC.
Diagnostic performances of coupled CEST, IVIM and ASL sequences, evaluated by the derivates of the IVIM scattering : f', ADC
