Forty-three cases of medulloblastoma were retro spectively evaluated. Patients who initially received irradiation to the entire central nervous system had a better survival than those receiving limited irradiation. Patient survival was improved with a dose of 4500 to 5500 rads to the posterior fossa
In patients with malignant astrocytomas or metastatic brain disease treated with high-dose radiotherapy, conventional imaging methods may not adequately distinguish recurrent tumor from radiation change. We used a fast spoiled gradient refocusing technique in the open-configuration intraoperative MR
