ABSTRACT
In the study we assessed the distortion of 7.0 T magnetic resonance (MR) images in reference to 1.5 T MR images in the radiosurgery of metastatic brain tumors. Radiosurgery with Gamma Knife Perfexion(R) was performed for the treatment of a 54-yr-old female patient with multiple brain metastases by the co-registered images of the 7.0 T and 1.5 T magnetic resonance images (MRI). There was no significant discrepancy in the positions of anterior and posterior commissures as well as the locations of four metastatic brain tumors in the co-registered images between 7.0 T and 1.5 T MRI with better visualization of the anatomical details in 7.0 T MR images. This study demonstrates for the first time that 7.0 T MR images can be safely utilized in Perfexion(R) Gamma Knife radiosurgery for the treatment of metastatic brain tumors. Furthermore 7.0 T MR images provide better visualization of brain tumors without image distortion in comparison to 1.5 T MR images.
