View Post 11 min This content is machine translated Current analysis of ultra-high field MRI Clinical applications in neuroradiology. One advantage of ultra-high-field (7T) MRI is high-resolution imaging due to an increased signal-to-noise ratio. This is of particular interest for functional MRI and spectroscopy. However, in clinical application, 7T…

The evidence base is good, especially for re-irradiation of tumor recurrences in pre-exposed areas. Thermal radiotherapy as part of primary curative therapy is currently being…

Interdisciplinary consultation and care of the patient are therefore useful. What is the place of radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy in multimodality treatment?
View Post 15 min This content is machine translated Contrast agent in MRI Is gadolinium really a risk? Traces of gadolinium can be detected in tissues after multiple applications using modern chemical methods, even over time, but without clinical relevance or associated sequelae. Nevertheless, restrictions have recently been…

Radiation-associated angiosarcoma is more common than intuitively expected. The initial diagnosis should be made as early as possible. Paradoxically, even in this radiation-induced tumor, re-irradiation is a good therapeutic option.
