The size of acoustic neuromas: CT and MRI.

Abstract:

:The growth rate of acoustic neuromas is very variable: some tumours grow rapidly, some do not grow and some even get smaller. When making treatment decisions, it may be important to have an idea of the growth rate of the individual tumour, and this is only possible when there are comparable examinations. We performed both CT and MRI on 15 patients. Two radiologists estimated the size of their acoustic neuromas. There was a significant difference between the two examiners' calculations of tumour volumes on CT and between the first examiner's CT and MRI volume calculations. No difference was found between the two MRI volume estimations or the second examiner's estimation of volumes on CT and MRI. Measurements of the maximal tumour diameter along the pyramid showed good concordance. We conclude that measurement the size of acoustic neuromas is reproducible with MRI and the measurement of the maximal tumour diameter is in practice a better parameter for comparison than calculation of real volume.
