Comparison of contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging using DANTE-SPACE, PETRA, and MPRAGE: a clinical evaluation of brain tumors at 3 Tesla

Abstract

PETRA achieves comparable detection of brain tumors with MPRAGE and is preferred for depicting osseous metastases and meningeal enhancement. DANTE-SPACE with blood vessel suppression showed improved detection of cerebral metastases compared with MPRAGE and PETRA, which could be helpful for the differential diagnosis of tumors.
