Can an Imaging Marker of Consistency Predict Intraoperative Experience and Clinical Outcomes for Vestibular Schwannomas? A Retrospective Review

Abstract: Objective The main purpose of this article is to determine if vestibular schwannoma consistency as determined by tissue intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) is predictive of intraoperative experience and postoperative clinical outcomes. Study Design Retrospective chart review. Setting Tertiary referral center. Patients Seventy-seven patients diagnosed with vestibular schwannomas who were treated with microsurgical resection. Intervention Diagnostic… Show more

“…Current imaging modalities such as T2-weighted MRI do not directly measure tissue stiffness. Ultrasound elastography can measure tissue stiffness of organs not encased in bone but is not applicable for intracranial lesions in the preoperative setting 5 . Tools such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) are not currently adapted for clinical use 6 .…”
