Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate whether changes in metastatic brain tumors after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be seen with quantitative MRI early after treatment. Methods and Materials: Using contrast-enhanced MRI, a 3-water-compartment tissue model consisting of intracellular (I), extracellular-extravascular (E), and vascular (V) compartments was used to assess the intra-extracellular water exchange rate constant (k(IE)), efflux rate constant (k(ep)), and water compartment volume fractions (M-0,M-I, M-0,M-E, M-0,M-V). In this prospective study, 19 patients were MRI-scanned before treatment and 1 week and 1 month after SRS. The change in model parameters between the pretreatment and 1-week posttreatment scans was correlated to the change in tumor volume between pretreatment and 1-month posttreatment scans. Results: At 1 week kIE differentiated (P <.001) tumors that had partial response from tumors with stable and progressive disease, and a high correlation (R= -0.76, P <.001) was observed between early changes in the k(IE) and tumor volume change 1 month after treatment. Other model parameters had lower correlation (M-0,M-E) or no correlation (k(ep), M-0,M-V). Conclusions: This is the first study that measured k(IE) early after SRS, and it found that early changes in k(IE) (1 week after treatment) highly correlated with long-term tumor response and could predict the extent of tumor shrinkage at 1 month after SRS.
