PG  - 10-6
AB  - Using a software program for measuring surface area, we quantified the relative 
      size of four parts of the lateral ventricles, including the body, the trigone, 
      the anterior horn and the occipital horn, compared to the hemispheres in the 
      axial plane of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neonates. In 44 neonates 
      without any neurological disorders from 26 to 41 weeks of gestational age (GA), 
      MRI was performed between 12 and 124 postnatal days. The mean of the relative 
      size of the ventricle compared to the hemisphere (RSVH) among the subjects showed 
      a significant left-right asymmetry that was observed only in the occipital horn. 
      However, in the body, the anterior horn and the occipital horn, the percentage of 
      neonates with a larger left RSVH compared to the right RSVH was significantly 
      higher than the percentage of neonates with a larger right RSVH compared to the 
      left RSVH. The RSVH of the body and the occipital horn increased according to the 
      number of postnatal days and decreased according to GA. Measuring RSVH was useful 
      in assessing the size of the ventricle in the axial plane of neonatal MRI. It 
      clarified the fact that normative asymmetry, GA of subject, and the number of 
      postnatal days should be considered in assessing the size of ventricle.
