Calculating the Tumor Volumes in Vestibular Schwannomas: Are the ABC/2 and Volumetric Methods Comparable?

imagePurpose: To assess the efficacy of the ABC/2 method for calculating the volume of vestibular schwannomas as compared with 3-D planimetric method. Study Design: Retrospective. Methods: Fifty eight cases of pathologically confirmed sporadic vestibular schwannomas (VS) were analyzed. Tumors volumes were calculated for each tumor twice, once through semiautomated 3-D volumetric method and subsequently through ABC/2 (AP × ML × CC/2) methodology after calculating the maximal tumor dimensions in anteroposterior (AP), coronal (ML), and craniocaudal (CC) dimensions. Tumor volumes were initially correlated as a group and subsequently by dividing them into three groups using the Hannover classification. Results: The two methodologies were highly correlated when tumors were analyzed as a group (rho = 0.913, p
