We have read with interest “Consensus Recommendations for a Standardized Brain Tumor Imaging Protocol for Clinical Trials in Brain Metastases” by Kaufmann et al.¹ We welcome the suggestion to replace IR-GRE (ionizing radiation‒gradient recalled echo) sequences for 3D TSE (turbo spin echo) T1. However, we strongly disagree with their recommendation for 3T imaging due to the reasons hereby exposed:

关于“用于脑转移瘤临床试验的标准化脑肿瘤成像协议的共识建议”的信函。

我们饶有兴趣地阅读了 Kaufmann 等人的“用于脑转移临床试验的标准化脑肿瘤成像方案的共识建议”。¹我们欢迎为 3D TSE（涡轮自旋回波）T1 替换 IR-GRE（电离辐射-梯度召回回波）序列的建议。但是，我们强烈不同意他们对 3T 成像的建议，原因如下：
