PCI at a moderate dose reduced brain metastases in LAD-NSCLC to a clinically significant extent, comparable to that in limited-disease small-cell lung cancer. Late toxicity to normal brain was acceptable. This study supports the use of PCI within intense protocols for LAD-NSCLC, particularly in patients with favorable prognostic factors.

CT is useful for the evaluation of patients with fever or sepsis without a known source. Due to the detection of a septic focus by CT, 19% of the patients in our study could be immediately referred to causal therapy as percutaneous drainage or surgery.

This study suggests that it is possible to achieve correct rotational alignment of the femoral component and a symmetrical flexion gap using the tibial-cut-first technique in patients with a preoperatively deviated leg axis.

SPIO-MR produced a significantly better detection rate for malignant focal liver lesions compared with double-phase spiral DPS-CECT but was associated with a higher rate of false-positive findings.

A considerable dose reduction without loss of diagnostic information is achievable in dental CT. Dose-reducing examination protocols like the one presented may further expand the use of preoperative dental CT.
