• Amide proton transfer-weighted imaging and histogram analysis in the enhancing tumor can provide useful information for differentiation between glioblastomas and solitary brain metastasis. • Amide proton transfer signal intensity histogram parameters from peritumoral areas showed no significant difference between glioblastomas and solitary brain metastasis. • Vasogenic edema alone can substantially increase amide proton transfer signal intensity which may mimic tumor invasion.
