TL;DR: The hypothesis was that the omission of whole brain radiotherapy does not compromise overall survival, with a non-inferiority margin of 0·9, and the primary hypothesis was not proven.

TL;DR: Multimodality imaging and, more specifically, the combination of PET and CT has matured into an important diagnostic tool and requires not only significant modifications of the PET detector to make it compact and insensitive to magnetic fields but also a major redesign of the MRI hardware.

TL;DR: The use of lesion mapping in 27 stroke patients is used to show that the right posterior insula is commonly damaged in patients with anosognosia for hemiplegia/hemiparesis but is significantly less involved in hemipLegic/hemIParetic patients without anos Cognosia, suggesting that the insular cortex is integral to self-awareness and to one's beliefs about the functioning of body parts.

TL;DR: Pre-treatment MRI examinations of 100 immunologically competent patients with biopsy-proven PCNSL revealed a uniformly pathologic pattern of metabolite concentrations in all patients, and DW-MRI and proton spectroscopy may aid in differential diagnosis.

TL;DR: Late onset and typical l-dopa responsive parkinsonian features were generally observed, often accompanied by impairment of executive functions and high interference values in neuropsychological testing, as well as sleeping disturbances but rare hallucinations.
