Multimodality studies tackle benign but evasive nerve-sheath tumors
By Shalmali Pal
Separating neurofibromas from schwannomas, also known as neurilemomas, is crucial in guiding surgical resection. Historically, diagnosis has been achieved clinically and with biopsy. But making the all-important differential diagnosis isn't easy with either approach. Which imaging modality is up to the task? Musculoskeletal experts in Taiwan explored the role of ultrasound, while a group from the U.S. laid out the imaging appearance of these nerve-sheath tumors.

A recent study by researchers at the Madison-based University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health took a closer look at why these tears are sometimes missed at MRI, and whether certain clinical factors are in the modality's blind spot.

By Shalmali Pal
