Abstract
Metastatic brain tumors – one of the most actual problems of neurooncology. Currently, whole brain radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery are the main treatment methods of this pathology. The assessment of tumor’s response to irradiation is very important issue in postoperative period. We attempted solve it by using diffusion tensor imaging.
