Background: To retrospectively describe imaging characteristics of liver metastases on fused FDG-PET/ MRI data sets and to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MRI and fused FDG-PET/MRI data sets for the detection of liver metastases in patients undergoing systemic anticancer treatment. Materials and Methods: 43 oncological patients (mean age: 56+/- 11 years) were investigated by FDG-PET...

we present a rare case with history of neurological symptoms due to multiple brain metastases and no urological symptoms. during patient evaluation for primary tumor, transitional cell carcinoma (tcc) of left renal pelvis was found. the patient underwent gamma knife stereotactic radio-surgery for the metastatic brain lesions. radical nephroureterectomy was performed, and a 4-cycle course of pac...
