PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To optimize and technically validate specially-tailored acquisition and reconstruction (STAR) DCE-MRI based on the accuracy and reproducibility of whole-brain tracer-kinetic (TK) parameter maps. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To develop a robust clinical implementation of STAR DCE-MRI. II. To clinically evaluate STAR DCE-MRI in patients with brain tumors. OUTLINE: Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. COHORT I: Participants with recurrent high-grade glioma undergo STAR DCE-MRI every 2 months, and just prior to and 4-6 weeks after starting bevacizumab treatment. If there is concern for tumor progression (i.e. increased contrast enhancement), more frequent MRI scans will be scheduled. COHORT II: Participants with melanoma brain metastases undergo STAR DCE-MRI at baseline and 4-6 weeks after therapy. Participants may undergo more frequent MRI if there is concern for tumor progression.
