Diameter-Based Volumetric Models May Inadequately Calculate Jugular Paraganglioma Volume Following Sub-Total Resection

Conclusion: Cuboidal, ellipsoidal, and spherical models do not provide accurate assessments of postoperative JP tumor volume and may result in salvage therapies that are unnecessary or inappropriately withheld due to inaccurate assessment of residual tumor growth. While more time-consuming, slice-by-slice segmentation by an experienced neuroradiologist provides a substantially more accurate and precise measurement of tumor volume that may optimize clinical management.
