A member asked:

Would an mri no contrast detect acoustic neuroma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The Gold Standard: If there is a clinical need to exclude an acoustic neuroma, the best approach is MRI. If you have misgivings, suggest you discuss in detail with a neuroradiologist regarding specifics
