title: Unbiased and efficient estimation of total ventricular volume of the brain obtained from CT-scans by a stereological method.
abstract: Using a simple stereological method the estimation of the ventricular volume in ten hydrocephalic children and adults based on ordinary CT-scans is presented. The volume estimates are compared with "ventricular size" expressed as Evans' ratio. The differences between the two estimates are discussed.
