Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI provides additional information regarding blood-brain barrier integrity, and K^trans is directly proportional to the level of permeability of the blood-brain barrier. In our study, we demonstrated that SRS of cerebral metastasis was associated with a decrease of K^trans values in the early post-treatment period. DCE-MRI derived parameters can be a promising imaging biomarker of tumor aggressiveness.
