Abstract: Background: To evaluate the accuracy of tumor size by maximum diameter, ABC/2 formula, and planimetry method using thick-slice and thin-slice magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: Maximum diameter and tumor volume calculated using ABC/2 formula (V1) and planimetry method with thick-slice MRI (V2) and thin-slice MRI (V3) were examined in 83 meningiomas. Form factor (FF) analysis was performed to assess irregularity of the tumor. V3 values were considered as real tumor volumes. The accuracy of V1 and V2 was evaluated using ratio and difference from V3. Meningiomas were categorized by tumor locations: skull base (anterior, middle, and posterior) and non-skull base (calvaria and other sites). Results: Correlation between maximum diameter and V3 was statistically significant (r = 0.91), but the error was significant in tumors with longer maximum diameters. Correlation between V1 and V3 was significant (r = 0.97). However, V1 tended to be larger in middle skull base meningiomas or in tumors with low FF values (R2 = 0.21). V2 represented relatively accurate volumes in both groups except in the case of small meningiomas. When tumors were demonstrated within 3 fractions on thick-slice MRI, the ratio of V2 to V3 showed significant variability. Conclusions: Using the ABC/2 formula, the volume of meningiomas in the middle skull base or meningiomas with low FF value might be calculated larger than the real tumor volume. The planimetry method with thick-slice MRI demonstrated relatively accurate volumes if the tumor was fractionated in >4 slices.
