Abstract
The brains of 44 normal adults were examined by computer tomography (CT) with the fine matrix EMI scanner. Measurements of various parts of the ventricular system showed a sexual difference and an increase with age. Absolute measurements are preferred to indices or ratios. Comparison with the same parameters in pneumoencephalography and ventricular casts showed good correlation. The need for larger investigations of the normal population is stressed. Les auteurs ont étudié le cerveau chez 44 adultes normaux à l'aide de la tomogrphie computérisée sur EMI-scanner à matrice fine. Les mensurations de différentes régions du système ventriculaire montraient des valeurs différentes selon le sexe et une augmentation avec l'âge. Les valeurs absolues sont préférées aux indices et rapports. Untersuchungen an 44 normalen Personen mit dem EMI-Scanner (160/160 Matrix). Die Messungen wurden an verschiedene Teilen des Ventrikelsytems durchgeführt. Es fanden sich Geschlechtsunterschiede und ein Größenanstieg mit zunehmendem Alter. Dabei zeigte sich eine gute Korrelation zwischen den Untersuchungen mit der Computer-Tomographie und der Pneumoencephalographie.Keywords
