Six manual measures of distance and area
Measure | How to Measure |
---|---|
Biparietal width | Greatest distance between left and right parietal cortices, measured on a single coronal slice identifying bilateral  cochlea and basilar truncus |
Interhemispheric distance | Distance between crowns of superior frontal gyri, measured on the same coronal slice as biparietal width |
Callosal thickness | Thinning at the genu, midbody, splenium |
Transcerebellar diameter | Single coronal slice at level of ventricular atrium |
Lateral ventricular diameter | Same coronal slice as transcerebellar diameter |
Deep grey matter area | Single axial slice showing caudate heads, lentiform nuclei, and thalami |
