PURPOSE To determine whether unenhanced high-resolution T2-weighted fast spin-echo
MR imaging provides an acceptable and less expensive alternative to contrast-enhanced …

PURPOSE To compare constructive interference in the steady state (CISS) three-
dimensional Fourier transform (3DFT) MR imaging with contrast-enhanced T1-weighted spin …

Objective: To assess the value of high resolution 2D fast spin echo T2-weighted sequence
(HR 2D-FSE T2w) for evaluating the internal auditory meatus (IAM) in patients with asymetric …

The advent of magnetic resonance imaging has greatly improved our ability to diagnose
acoustic tumors, but it is a relatively expensive imaging modality. In the present climate of …

The financial burden for the evaluation of patients for acoustic neuroma in an otolaryngology
practice is substantial. Patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss represent a portion …

MR imaging is the study of choice for the examination of patients with suspected acoustic
schwannoma, because of its high sensitivity, especially after the use of contrast material …

Gadolinium enhanced MRI is the gold standard investigation for the detection of acoustic
neuroma. Non-contrast MRI sequences have been suggested as an alternative for …

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 27 histologically proven acoustic
schwannomas in 24 patients (13 men, 11 women, age 20-79 yr) are described in detail …

The diagnostic approach to acoustic neuromas is complex but these tumours are infrequent
in patients even with a suggestive clinical picture. Easy access to an efficient, reliable and …

The aim of this study was to evaluate high resolution T2 (*)-weighted MRI—in our case a 3D
CISS sequence—for the diagnosis of acoustic neuromas. Especially to be clarified was if …
