The purpose of this research work was to evaluate the tumor volume reduction of meningiomas after stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery in the long term follow-up.By using 3D-MRI in almost all patients undergoing radiotherapy of a meningioma, tumor shrinkage is detected. The data presented here demonstrate that volumetric assessment from 3D-MRI provides additional information to routinely used radiologic response measurements. After FSRT or RS, a mean size reduction of 25-45% can be expected within 4 years.
