Objective (s) To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a range of
diagnostic strategies for investigating patients with unilateral hearing loss and/or tinnitus …

Background Currently, all patients presenting with asymmetrical sensorineural hearing loss
and/or unilateral audiovestibular dysfunction (ie tinnitus, dizziness) undergo MRI, leading to …

Objectives To determine if high‐resolution T2‐weighted (HRT2) magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) is a comparably accurate and economical alternative to the gold standard of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While enhanced T1WI is considered the “gold standard”
for detection of internal auditory canal pathology, unenhanced fluid-sensitive sequences …

This article presents guidelines for imaging utilization in patients presenting with hearing
loss or vertigo, symptoms that sometimes occur concurrently due to proximity of receptors …

Objective To compare international diagnostic and management strategies for vestibular
schwannoma (VS). Methods A web-based questionnaire was sent to 130 otolaryngologists …

Six patients with solid vestibular schwannomas were studied by diffusion magnetic
resonance imaging to assess if this modality adds new information for these tumors …

Objectives/Hypothesis Our objective was to perform an economic analysis evaluating
whether ordering a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a cost‐effective practice in the …

Acoustic neuroma results from abnormal proliferation of Schwann cells. These tumors
originate in the region of Scarpa's ganglion at the junction of peripheral and central myelin of …

AIM: To investigate the diagnostic yield of T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
screening for vestibular schwannoma and other relevant conditions in the setting of …
