Summary

This study will evaluate a new type of MRI sequence designed to improve the visibility of brain metastases after gadolinium contrast injection. The purpose is to determine whether this novel "gadolinium-weighted" imaging method can detect more or smaller tumors than standard MRI techniques. Participants will undergo a routine brain MRI with contrast, followed by an additional scan using the new method. The goal is to improve diagnostic accuracy without increasing the contrast dose or scan time.
