Figure 4 Brain magnetic resonance imaging before and after stereotactic body radiotherapy for isolated brain metastasis. (A) Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing a solitary hyperintense lesion in the left occipital lobe (arrow). Gadolinium contrast was not administered at diagnosis because of clinical considerations. (B) Follow-up axial FLAIR MRI after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) showing marked reduction in lesion size and good local control.
