Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of cerebellopontine angle tumours.
In the evaluation of tumours of the cerebellopontine angle MRI has a sensitivity and a specificity slightly greater than that of CT. At present it does not appear justified to displace CT as the standard means of investigation of a CPA tumour. The role of MRI is analagous to that of air-CT.
