  • 1

    Brain metastasis is a severe complication of advanced cancer, necessitating early and accurate diagnosis for improved patient outcomes.

  • 2

    Conventional MRI is the primary diagnostic method for brain metastases due to its high soft-tissue resolution and improved detection of small lesions.

  • 3

    CT is useful for rapid assessment but has limitations in soft-tissue resolution and radiation exposure compared to MRI.

  • 4

    Multimodal fusion techniques like PET/CT and PET/MRI enhance diagnostic sensitivity and specificity by integrating anatomical and functional information.

  • 5

    Emerging technologies such as AI and radiomics are being applied to improve the clinical detection rate of brain metastases.
