Özet
Objective: Indexes obtained from two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurements are used to evaluate the brain's lateral ventricle (LV) structure. However, there were limited studies on how well the Evans index (EI) and the Bicaudate index (BI), which estimate LV volume, represent the LV volumetric index (LVVI) in the childhood and adolescence period. This study investigated the relationship between LVVI and linear indexes (EI and BI) in the pediatric period regarding age and sex factors. Method: This study was performed retrospectively in 588 individuals (267 [45.4%] females) aged 1-18 years with normal brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) between 2012 and 2021. LVVI was obtained by segmenting three-dimensional T1-weighted MRIs with volBrain1.0. LVVI was obtained by dividing the LV absolute volume by the total intracranial volume. We made linear measurements for EI and BI with the 3D Slicer. In this study, we compared the data obtained from individuals in 16 different age ranges between 1-18 years old with SPSS (ver.28). Results: In our study, we found the mean value of LVVI to be 0.656±0.372%. The mean values of EI and BI were 0.242±0.025 and 0.070±0.022, respectively. In the pediatric population, we found that mean values of EI and BI were significantly higher in males than in females (p
