A three-dimensional and volume determination of tumors of the cerebellopontine angle.
We propose a new technique to accurately determine the volume of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors. It has been determined that the measurement of the long axis in a slice plane of the CPA tumor does not adequately measure the total growth of the tumor. Volume measurements are more accurate indicators of the mass of the tumor.
