Linear measurements of the cerebral ventricles are correlated with adult ventricular volume

Abstract Computation of ventricular volume has important clinical applications but is challenging. We compared linear ventricular measurements to ventricular volume to find a simple to perform quantitative measurement of ventricular size. Linear measurements were correlated with ventricular volumes...

Summary:Abstract Computation of ventricular volume has important clinical applications but is challenging. We compared linear ventricular measurements to ventricular volume to find a simple to perform quantitative measurement of ventricular size. Linear measurements were correlated with ventricular volumes to different degrees and were reproducible between investigators. Linear measurements provide a quick and simple quantification of ventricular size for use in clinical settings.
