Diagnostic Value of Centrally Restricted Diffusion in Differentiating Radiation Necrosis from Tumor Progression in Brain Metastases: A Single-Center Observational Study.

Department of Neuroradiology, East Group Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon. 59 Bd Pinel, 69500, Bron, France; CREATIS Laboratory, CNRS UMR 5220, INSERM U1294, Claude Bernard Lyon I University. 7 avenue Jean Capelle O, 69100, Villeurbanne, France. Electronic address:

Background: Distinguishing radiation necrosis (RN) from true progression (TP) in irradiated brain metastases is challenging. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of the centrally restricted diffusion sign on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).

Methods: From August 2014 to August 2024, we screened 321 patients with histologically confirmed brain metastases treated with radiation therapy and follow-up MRI for new or enlarging necrotic lesions ≥1 cm.

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are generally benign neoplasms, though in rare cases may exhibit aggressive behavior. In 2024, the PANOMEN-3 workshop released a new clinical-pathological classification. The objective of this study was to examine the potential of the PANOMEN-3 classification to predict prognosis of PAs and guide treatment in our single center cohort of patients with PAs.
