Table 1:

Six manual measures of distance and area

MeasureHow to Measure
Biparietal widthGreatest distance between left and right parietal cortices, measured on a single coronal slice identifying bilateral
 cochlea and basilar truncus
Interhemispheric distanceDistance between crowns of superior frontal gyri, measured on the same coronal slice as biparietal width
Callosal thicknessThinning at the genu, midbody, splenium
Transcerebellar diameterSingle coronal slice at level of ventricular atrium
Lateral ventricular diameterSame coronal slice as transcerebellar diameter
Deep grey matter areaSingle axial slice showing caudate heads, lentiform nuclei, and thalami
