2 Fig. 1 (A) Axial T1-weighted spoiled gradient echo MRI used for treatment planning for Gamma Knife radiosurgery for an acoustic neuroma. Prescription dose of 11.5 Gy was delivered to the 45% isodose line and tumor margin. (B) Axial T1-weighted spoiled gradient echo MRI acquired at time of the same patient developing symptomatic noncommunicating hydrocephalus. This image reveals a treatment response with development of central hypoattenuation within the tumor.

3 Fig. 2 (A) Axial T1-weighted spoiled gradient echo MRI used for treatment planning for Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for a facial nerve schwannoma. Prescription dose of 12 Gy was delivered to the 50% isodose line and tumor margin. The patient developed a facial nerve palsy 1 week after GKRS. (B) Axial T1-weighted spoiled gradient echo MRI acquired 16 months after GKRS, showing a central hypoattenuation within the tumor.
