Evaluation of Vestibular Schwannoma Size across Time: How Well Do the Experts Perform and What Can Be Improved? [RESEARCH]

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
2D linear measurements are often used in routine clinical practice during vestibular schwannoma (VS) follow-up, primarily due to wider availability and ease of use. We sought to determine the radiologist’s performance compared with 3D-volumetry, along with the impact of the number of linear measurements, slice thickness, and tumor volumes on these parameters.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Specificity and accuracy estimates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for …
