Abstract

In recent years further forms of local treatment for primary brain tumors have been developed in addition to resection and radiation.

Local therapy procedures are complex and suffer from special difficulties in the evaluation of their effectiveness by imaging techniques, because they are inevitably accompanied by alterations in the imaging, barrier disturbances and contrast medium uptake.
