DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000002809_497
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Evolving brain metastases treatment standards has led to shifting intracranial recurrence patterns, especially with respect to pachymeningeal and leptomeningeal disease (PMD/LMD). As an emerging technique, it remains unclear if the depth of magnetic resonance… read more here.
