Abstract:
A new powerful stereological tool for exact quantification of brain structures on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans was used. Applying Cavalieri's principle, unbiased estimation of volume can be obtained. The method was applied to estimate the volume of different brain structures from normal controls. Data were used for comparison with data obtained by analyzing the brains of persons with Down's syndrome. A normalization procedure based on volume of cranial cavity is introduced and its advantages discussed, as is the coefficient of error as an indicator for the precision of the measurement.
