Introduction The sphenoid bone has a superior depression called the sella turcica, Latin for “Turkish
saddle,” where the pituitary gland is found. The availability of modern radiological …

The Cavalieri estimator using a point grid is used to estimate the volume of three-dimensional
structures based on two-dimensional slices of the object. The size of the components of …

Pineal gland is a very important neuroendocrine organ with many physiological functions
such as regulating circadian rhythm. Radiologically, the pineal gland volume is clinically …

Several methodologies have been proposed to assess the orbital volume (OV). However, we
have not seen a criterion standard study evaluating the results of the methodologies for the …

In this study, we describe and adapt the relevant methods of magnetic resonance (MR) and
stereology to estimate total brain volume (TBV), cerebral and cerebellar volume and their …

There is a well-known close relationship between the total intracranial volume (TIV) and the
brain size. Several studies in different countries have estimated the cranial capacity, which …

The cerebellum is involved in motor learning and cognitive function in human. Many studies
have been conducted to assess the cerebellar volume. To the best of our knowledge, there …

Several investigators have estimated the intracranial volume (ICV) in the past which indirectly
reflects the brain volume. Most of these studies have been made on the dry skulls using …

The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted by mobile phones on humans hold special
interest due to their use in close proximity to the brain. The current study investigated the …

Stereological techniques using point counting and planimetry have been used to estimate
pituitary gland volume. However, many studies have estimated pituitary gland volume by the …
