Accuracy of echoventriculography as compared with computer tomography in children.
The accuracy of echoventriculography (echo-VG) using CT findings as a reference has been examined in 144 children. Lateral ventricular index on echo-VG was compared with anterior horn and body indices on CT. The correlation coefficient was 0.617 and 0.725, respectively. Twelve cases with a deviation exceeding 2 SD in the regression between the indices were analysed. The conclusion is that echo-VG is fairly accurate and useful as a screening method and for follow-up examinations in children.
