The results give us a reason not to recommend an MRI 1 month after treatment if the patient doesn't have any new neurological symptoms, because there may be a pseudo-progression. MRI results valued by RANO-BM criteria give us a good option to evaluate brain metastases on the third and sixth month after after stereotactic radiosurgery.
