Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CT scanning is the diagnostic modality of choice for acoustic neuromas located in the inner ear. CT scan can produce high-resolution images of the temporal bone and can detect even small tumors in the inner ear. MRI is also a useful modality to visualize acoustic neuromas, but it may be contraindicated in some patients, and it is not as sensitive as CT scanning for small tumors. Wide angle tomography, thin cut linear tomography, and linear zonography are not commonly used in the diagnosis of acoustic neuroma.
