The rows of reader A and B of each imaging modality present the means and standard deviations of the measurements assessed by these readers. The means and standard deviations are also subdivided according to vestibular schwannoma stage for CE T1-WI. The mean difference row presents the mean differences between the measurements of reader A and B and the SD of these differences

A intracanalicular, B extracanalicular, C compressing brain stem, D deviating fourth ventricle, SD standard deviation, CC craniocaudal dimension, AP anteroposterior dimension, ML mediolateral dimension, VOL volume, Meandiff mean of the observer difference, SDdiff standard deviation of the differences between observer A and B, CE T1-WI contrast enhanced T1-weighted images, T2-WI T2-weighted images
