Precision in Practice: Inter- and Intra-rater Reliability of Linear Measurements and Tumor Growth in Vestibular Schwannoma
Linear measurements of VS parallel to the petrous ridge yield excellent interrater reliability and the most favorable repeatability coefficient. Good to excellent intra-rater reliability across all measurement directions was observed. The most accurately defined tumor growth was obtained comparing measurements parallel to the petrous ridge. We recommend measurements parallel to the petrous ridge as the standard linear method for evaluating VS and growth.
