Abstract:
Objective To investigate the volume of hippocampal formation in normal adult using coronal magnetic resonance imaging. Methods 3D-fSPGR sequence was used to depict the brain in 68 healthy adult. The volume of hippocampus was calculated by drawing the outline of 10 coronal hippocampal formation images acquired equally form posterior border of rostrum corpus callosum to anterior border of the splenium. Data were analysed using the SPSS 17.0 software. Results In the coronal plane images of normal adult brain, the absolute volume of left and right hippocampal formation were 2 319.63-2 610.73 mm3 and 2 447.52-2 749.50 mm3 respectively . The relative volume of left and right hippocampal formation were 2 319 . 87-2 602 . 47 mm 3 and 2 443.96-2 755.89 mm3. There were no correlation between hippocampal volume and age (r = 0.084, P = 0.549. Significant gender differences (t=2.500, P=0.029) were observed between absolute volume of right hippocampal formation in the youth group. There were significant differences in the absolute volume (t = -2.571, P = 0.022), relative volume (t = 2.600, P = 0.021) among the right and left hippocampal formation. Significant absolute volume differences (P = 0.038) were observed between the middle-aged group and the youth group among the hippocampal formation of women. Conclusion No significant differences were observed in age, gender among the hippocampal volume of normal adult, and there was a significant difference between the left and right hippocampal formation volume.
