Postcontrast wave-T1-SPACE showed comparable diagnostic performance for larger enhancing lesions (>5 mm) and marked scan time reduction compared with standard SPACE. However, postcontrast wave-T1-SPACE showed underestimation of smaller enhancing lesions (<5 mm) and lower image quality than standard SPACE. Therefore, postcontrast wave-T1-SPACE should be interpreted carefully in the evaluation of brain metastasis.
