The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging and cerebrospinal fluid cytology in leptomeningeal metastasis

Diagnostic decision making in the case of patients suspected of having leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) can be very difficult. The results of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology can be repeatedly negative, and the predictive value of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not well know...
