[Morphometric characterization of median brain structures using intravital magnetic resonance tomography]

Linear parameters of corpus callosum and submucosal structures (transparent septum, cupula, thalamus, pineal body and the third ventricle choroid plexus) were measured using 80 MR tomograms and 40 craniograms of 20 patients aged 20-50. Linear parameters were compared with the cranium shape and statistically processed. The dependence of linear parameters of the structures mentioned upon the shape of the cranium was demonstrated. They were characterized morphometrically in dolychomeso- and brachiocephals. The data obtained are of interest in assessment of MR tomograms with pathological changes and individualization of surgical interventions in median structures of brain.
