Abstract:
Objective To measure the dimension and area of the brainstem on MR images in healthy adults and to study the relationship between age, sex and the size of the brainstem.Methods The dimensions and areas of the brainstem in 360 healthy volunteers on midsagittal MR images were measured. There were 180 males and 180 females, ranged in age from 20～87 years old. Results The average antero-posterior(AP) distances and areas of the midbrain were the largest at the 20～29 years old, and decreased slightly over 60 years. The average AP distance, vertical distance and area of the frontal pontine and pontine were no significant difference between different age groups, but there were significant difference in sex. The average upper diameter and area of the medulla oblongata were significant difference in partial age groups, and there was difference in sex (?
