    The cerebroventricular index, calculated from computerized axial tomographic scans, reliably indicates brain ventricle size in individuals aged 10 to 81. Ventricular size standards are age-dependent, requiring tailored interpretation for accurate assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of brain ventricular size is crucial for diagnosing neurological conditions.
    • Existing methods for evaluating ventricular size may lack standardization or age-specific reference values.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a reliable and quantifiable index for measuring brain ventricular size.
    • To determine the relationship between the cerebroventricular index and patient age.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluation of computerized axial tomographic (CAT) scans from 200 healthy individuals aged 10–81 years.
    • Calculation of the cerebroventricular index by determining the ratio of brain width to the distance between outer borders of lateral ventricles at two defined levels.

    Main Results:

    • The cerebroventricular index was found to be a dependable indicator of ventricular size.
    • Established that reference standards for the cerebroventricular index vary significantly with patient age.

    Conclusions:

    • The cerebroventricular index offers a reliable method for assessing ventricular dimensions in neuroimaging.
    • Age-specific standards are essential for the accurate interpretation of the cerebroventricular index in clinical practice.
