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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients > 18 years of age

Histologically proven primary lung cancer

Histologically proven or not brain metastases

Irradiated metastases

Disqualifiers

Opposition to the study

Contraindication to MRI

Refusal of imaging by the patient

Patient with state medical aid (unless exemption from affiliation)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Diagnostic performances for the IVIM sequence using IVIM scattering derivatives: f', ADC

Time frame
24 months
2

Diagnostic performances for the ASL (arterial spin labeling) sequence using ASL infusion derivatives: intralesional CBF (cerebral blood flow) relative to contralateral white matter CBF

Time frame
