Young Neurosurgeons and Rapid Fire Abstracts-Development of Normal Pediatric Growth Curves for Cerebral Ventricular Volume

Development of Normal Pediatric Growth Curves for Cerebral Ventricular Volume

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the need for a reference of normal ventricular volumes in pediatric patients. Currently, radiology reports use qualitative descriptions of ventricular size, which can be ambiguous and subjective. To address this, the video explains the development of a software program for three-dimensional calculations of ventricular volume from radiographic images. By analyzing a set of normal brain MRIs, a growth curve for pediatric ventricular volumes was created using the LMS method. The video demonstrates the growth curve and explains how it can be used in clinical settings to provide objective context for ventricular size and identify abnormal growth. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
