Table 6 Cerebral atrophy rating scale.
From: Detrimental effects of hypercortisolism on brain structure and related risk factors
Internal cerebral atrophy | |
BCR | Minimum distance between frontal horns divided by the distance between the inner tables of the skull along the same line |
BFR | Distance between the tips of the frontal horns divided by the distance between the inner tables of the skull along the same line |
External cerebral atrophy | |
SFR | Average of the maximum width of the two sylvian fissures on the section showing them at their widest, divided by the trans-pineal coronal inner table diameter |
FFR | Maximal width of the interhemispheric fissure divided by the trans-pineal coronal inner table diameter |
Temporal atrophy | |
Uncotemporal index | Ratio of distance between the unci of temporal lobes to the distance between outer margins of temporal lobes |
Hippocampal formation height | Measured on a plane parallel to the brainstem axis plane where the hippocampal formation was highest |
Width of the temporal horn | Measured on the same plane used for hippocampal height measurement |
