| dc.description.abstract | The physical appearance of humans changes according to the age. Every change may
not be noticeable to naked eye, but it is possible to determine the microstructural
changes of the brain and skull using novel quantitative techniques. The last few
decades showed significant technical advancement in imaging modalities and most
importantly computed tomography (CT) plays a major role among them. CT is
superior in detecting morphological changes of skull and bone when compared with
MRI. The main objective was to determine the relationship between selected
measurements of brain and skull with age. Specific objective of this study was to see
the relationship of the selected measurements with gender. This study consists of
CT head images of 180 patients between the ages of 20 years to 80 years. In addition
to direct measurements frontal horn index, Evan index, ventricular index and
Huckman number were calculated. The measurement of the Evan index was found
to be useful to determine the age of a person. The measurement of distance between
the choroid plexuses, the measurement of the greatest external diameter of the
frontal bone and maximum internal width of skull display the most significant
changing parameter with gender. | en_US |
