MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF VENTRICULAR INDICES IN HUMAN BRAIN USING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SCANS IN INDIAN POPULATION

Abstract

Introduction: Ventricular enlargement is a characteristic physical change that is present frequently in a number of cerebral disorders encountered in neurologic and psychiatric practice. Quantitative assessment of neuroimages for ventricular size is an effective approach to reveal structural changes in conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease, schizophrenia, Huntington's disease, hydrocephalus and many other neurological and psychiatric disorders.
