After stereotactic radiosurgery (srs) for brain metastases, patients are routinely monitored with magnetic resonance imaging (mri). The high rate of new brain metastases after srs treatment alone might not be as concerning with modern mri and target localization treatment. Intensive surveillance might induce anxiety, lowering the patient's quality of life (qol). The present work is the feasibility component of a prospective study evaluating the role of surveillance mri on qol in patients with limited (1-3) brain metastases.
