Objective: To evaluate cochlear implant speech perception among patients with sporadic inner ear schwannoma who underwent ipsilateral implantation.
Study Design: Retrospective multi-institutional cohort study.
Setting: Eleven tertiary academic medical centers across Germany, Denmark, and the United States.

Article Synopsis
- - This study compares cochlear implant (CI) outcomes for speech perception in patients with sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) treated through observation, radiosurgery, or microsurgery.
- - Of the 100 patients analyzed, those who underwent microsurgery had poorer speech perception scores compared to those who were observed or treated with radiosurgery, with only 61% achieving open-set speech perception after microsurgery.
- - The findings suggest that cochlear implants can be beneficial for sporadic VS patients, particularly those managed by observation or radiosurgery, as these groups showed significantly better outcomes in achieving open-set speech perception.
Aim To evaluate the role of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in characterizing suspicious lesions in dense breasts compared to ultrasonography (USG). Materials and methods Eighty-two consecutive female patients with suspicious lesions in dense breast parenchyma showing the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting And Data System (ACR BI-RADS) c/d composition on mammography underwent USG, where 63 lesions of 63 patients were suspicious. They underwent multiparametric MRI, followed by histopathological evaluation (HPE) of the lesions.

The study also explored clinicians' diagnostic confidence levels and the time to make a diagnosis.
Study Design: Clinician diagnostic reader study.
