“…4. The model as described here was validated against the model of Benavente-Fernandez et al [13] [13]. Figure 5 shows the predicted ventricular volume as a function of the measured ventricular volume for both models and the residual error as a function of the measured ventricular volume for both models.…”

“…Other relevant work on the prediction of ventricular volume using US has been performed by Benavente-Fernandez et al [13]. They created a model to predict the ventricular volume as measured by 3-D cranial US using linear 2-D cranial US measurements for infants with post-haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation.…”

“…Second, their model did not perform a cube root transformation of the ventricular volume (∛ventricular volume). Other differences might be explained by the fact that 3rd and 4th ventricles were not included in the 3-D volume measurements by Benavente-Fernandez et al [13], whereas they were included in our segmentations. The 3rd ventricle is hard to visualize on US imaging and, hence, few reference values are known in the literature.…”

Two-dimensional ultrasound measurements vs. magnetic resonance imaging-derived ventricular volume of preterm infants with germinal matrix intraventricular haemorrhage

Background Post-haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation can be measured accurately by MRI. However, two-dimensional (2-D) cranial US can be used at the bedside on a daily basis. Objective To assess whether the ventricular volume can be determined accurately using US. Materials and methods We included 31 preterm infants with germinal matrix intraventricular haemorrhage. Two-dimensional cranial US images were acquired and the ventricular index, anterior horn width and thalamo-occipital distance were measured. In addition, cranial MRI was performed. The ventricular volume on MRI was determined using a previously validated automatic segmentation algorithm. We obtained the correlation and created a linear model between MRI-derived ventricular volume and 2-D cranial US measurements. Results The ventricular index, anterior horn width and thalamo-occipital distance as measured on 2-D cranial US were significantly associated with the volume of the ventricles as determined with MRI. A general linear model fitted the data best: ∛ventricular volume (ml) = 1.096 + 0.094 × anterior horn width (mm) + 0.020 × thalamo-occipital distance (mm) with R 2 = 0.831. Conclusion The volume of the lateral ventricles of infants with germinal matrix intraventricular haemorrhage can be estimated using 2-D cranial US images by application of a model.

“…Three-dimensional US can be a valuable tool in the neonatal intensive care unit because it allows navigation in all planes and enables volume calculations. It has mainly been used in fetal US (26,27), but there has been increased interest in postnatal brain studies in the last decade (26,28,29). It can complement factors remains to be elucidated.…”

Purpose To establish cross-sectional and longitudinal reference values for cerebellar size in preterm infants with normal neuroimaging findings and normal 2-year neurodevelopmental outcome by using cranial ultrasonography (US). Materials and Methods This prospective study consecutively enrolled preterm infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit from June 2011 to June 2014 with a birth weight of less than or equal to 1500 g and/or gestational age (GA) of less than or equal to 32 weeks. They underwent weekly cranial US from birth to term-equivalent age and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at term-equivalent age. The infants underwent neurodevelopmental assessments at age 2 years with Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition (BSID-III). Patients with adverse outcomes (death or abnormal neuroimaging findings and/or BSID-III score of <85) were excluded. The following measurements were performed: vermis height, craniocaudal diameter, superior width, inferior width, vermis area, and transcerebellar diameter. Statistical analyses were conducted by using multilevel analyses. Results A total of 137 infants with a mean GA at birth of 29.4 weeks (range, 25-32 weeks) were included. Transcerebellar diameter increased by 1.04 mm per week on average; vermis height and craniocaudal diameter increased by 0.55 mm and 0.59 mm, respectively. Superior vermian width increased by an average of 0.45 mm, whereas inferior vermian width increased by an average of 0.51 mm per week. Vermis area was found to increase by 0.22 cm per week on average. The sex effect was significant (female lower than male) for vermis height (P < .05), craniocaudal diameter (P < .05), inferior vermian width (P <. 05), and vermis area (P <. 05). Conclusion Cross-sectional and longitudinal reference values were established for cerebellar growth in preterm infants, which may be included in routine cranial US.

Ultrasound lineal measurements predict ventricular volume in posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation in preterm infants

Abstract: Lateral ventricular volumes of preterm infants with PHVD could be reliably determined using 3DUS. Ventricular volume could be accurately estimated using three lineal measurements. More studies are needed to address the importance of volume determination in PHVD.
