Utility of Noncontrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Detection of Recurrent Vestibular Schwannoma

Conclusion: Noncontrast high-resolution 3D T2 MRI seems sufficient to assess for recurrence or regrowth after VS resection. The results of this study have implications for reducing cost, time, and adverse events associated with gadolinium administration in this population requiring serial follow-up examinations. These promising, yet preliminary findings warrant confirmation with a larger prospective cohort of patients.
