Measurement of Normal Third and Forth Ventricles in Adults Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

This retrospective study aimed to measure normal size of third and fourth

ventricles in adults.

This study was done to general electric and new soft MRI machines 1.5T.

The study period from September to December 2016.

The important Study carried out in sample of 205patient (121male and

84female) how underwent brain MRI examination the male 121(59%)and

femal84 (41%)patient not complained for any disease affected to the

measurements.

The study found that normal third ventricle measurement were length in

axial T2 diameter for male (26.33 mean±4.356 SD) and female (25.3

mean±3.32 SD).

The third ventricle width diameter for male (5.01 mean± 2.496SD) and

female (4.39 mean±2.223SD).

The normal fourth ventricle measurements were length diameter for male

(15.99mean±3.404SD). And female (15.66mean±4.006SD). The fourth

ventricle width for male (11.26mean±2.632SD).and female (10.27mean± 2.79SD).

The study recommended that doing more measurements of third and fourth ventricles.
