Frontal Occipital and Frontal Temporal Horn Ratios: Comparison and Validation of Head Ultrasound-Derived Indexes With MRI and Ventricular Volumes in Infantile Ventriculomegaly

摘要

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to assess whether linear ventricular dimensions-specifically, the frontal occipital horn ratio (FOHR) and frontal temporal horn ratio (FTHR) obtained from ultrasound (US)-are reliable measures of ventriculomegaly in infants. Our hypothesis was that these US measures would show good correlation with linear ventricular indexes and ventricular volumes obtained from MRI.
