    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Neurology
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus involves abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation, leading to ventricular enlargement and potential brain damage.
    • Accurate assessment of brain volume is crucial for understanding hydrocephalus's effects on neurological function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine brain volume in hydrocephalus patients using advanced computer techniques on CT scans.
    • To correlate brain volume measurements with patients' intellectual and neurological status.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized computed tomography (CT) scans from sixteen subjects with varying degrees of hydrocephalus.
    • Employed advanced computer techniques for precise brain volume calculations.
    • Incorporated maximal head circumference data into the analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Quantified brain volume across a spectrum of hydrocephalus severity, from normal to extreme ventricular dilatation.
    • Established correlations between calculated brain volume and observed intellectual and neurological conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Advanced computer analysis of CT scans provides a method for quantifying brain volume in hydrocephalus.
    • Brain volume measurements are significantly related to the intellectual and neurological outcomes in patients with hydrocephalus.
