Overview

MRI can be useful in the staging of brain and liver metastases. Brain MRI may be considered for the diagnosis of metastatic lesions in patients who have been diagnosed with stage IA-IV melanoma and for secondary prevention of melanoma in patients who were previously diagnosed with stage IIB-IV melanoma (annually for 5 years).
