Approximately one-fourth of all cancer metastases are found in the brain. MRI is the primary technique for detection of brain metastasis, planning of radiotherapy, and the monitoring of treatment response. Progress in tumor treatment now requires detection of new or growing metastases at the small subcentimeter size, when these therapies are most effective. ⋯ 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 2 J. Magn.

Improving Spatial Normalization of Brain Diffusion MRI to Measure Longitudinal Changes of Tissue Microstructure in the Cortex and White Matter.
Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) are frequently used to evaluate longitudinal changes in white matter (WM) microstructure. Recently, there has been a growing interest in identifying experience-dependent plasticity in gray matter using MD. Improving registration has thus become a major goal to enhance the detection of subtle longitudinal changes in cortical microstructure. ⋯ 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 1 J. Magn. Reson.

Functional Alterations of White Matter in Chronic Never-Treated and Treated Schizophrenia Patients.
Schizophrenia is one of the most severe psychiatric disorders and dysfunction of gray matter (GM) has been usually investigated by resting-state functional (f)MRI. However, functional organization of white matter (WM) in chronic schizophrenia remains unclear. ⋯ 3 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2020;52:752-763.
