Does an mri with contrast always detect acoustic neuroma?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: An MRI of the posterior fossa and internal auditory canals with and without contrast (gadolinium) can easily detect the majority of worrisome acoustic neuromas.

99% plus : An MRI with contrast of the internal auditory canals will pick up 99% of acoustic neuromas. Not perfect, but very close. Tiny acoustics can be missed.
