title: Magnetic resonance imaging in acoustic neurinoma. Comparison with CT.
abstract: MRI and CT were performed in 16 patients with 17 acoustic neurinomas. MRI was superior to CT in the detection of small acoustic neurinomas, in the demonstration of intracanalicular extension and in the differentiation with cerebellopontine angle meningiomas. Overall advantages of MRI over CT included better tissue contrast, absence of bone artifacts and easy multiplanar imaging.
