Abstract
Cerebral ventricular volume is an important factor in quantifying various neurological diseases and in neurosurgical therapy monitoring. We describe a method to efficiently segment and visualize the intracerebral fluid spaces based on MRI and to reproducibly quantify their volumes. At present, no system is available for routine clinical use which is (1) fast (less than 10 min for image analysis), (2) flexible (robust for normal and pathological anatomy), and (3) reproducible (less than 5 % relative variation).
