Assoc. prof. Dr. M. Schmidt is part of the Team of Neuroradiology at the University Hospital in Erlangen. Under the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Arnd Dörfler he managed to grow up into specialist of intra- and suprasellar pathologies. Being scientifically active, Dr. M. Schmidt became part of the team, who developed the Guideline for Diagnostic and Treatment of Pituitary Adenoma. As specialist in Neuroradiology, he managed to deliver a highly deductive presentation on “Differential diagnostics of pituitary adenoma from a neuro-radiological point of view”. We are thankful for his contribution to the Neuro-symposium and would be happy to have him again as speaker on other topics.
