Our results show excellent agreement between the size and growth of meningiomas derived from T1 3D-gadolinium and 2D-T2WI, suggesting that the use of noncontrast MR imaging may be appropriate for the follow-up of untreated meningiomas, which would be cost-effective and avert risks associated with contrast media.
