MRI provides the best assessment for acoustic neuroma. It provides better soft tissue contrast compared to other imaging modalities and can accurately depict the size, extent, and location of the tumor. Ultrasound and radiography are not suitable for the evaluation of acoustic neuroma. Nuclear medicine may be useful for other types of tumors but is not usually used for acoustic neuromas.
