title: Linear measurements of the cerebral ventricles are correlated with adult ventricular volume.
abstract: Computation of ventricular volume has important clinical applications but is challenging. We compared linear ventricular measurements to ventricular volume to find a simple to perform quantitative measurement of ventricular size. Linear measurements were correlated with ventricular volumes to different degrees and were reproducible between investigators. Linear measurements provide a quick and simple quantification of ventricular size for use in clinical settings.
