Pediatrik Popülasyonda Pons Gelişiminin Yaşa ve Cinsiyete Göre Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme ile Morfometrik Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Pons, vital merkezleri içeren önemli bir posterior fossa yapısıdır. Bu yapının gelişimsel ve edinsel hastalıklarının erken tanısında ponsun ortalama morfometrik ölçüm değerlerinin bilinmesi önemlidir.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme, pediatrik popülasyon, Pons

Morphometric Evaluation of Pons Development in Pediatric Population According to Age and Gender by Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Aim: Pons is an important posterior fossa structure that contains vital centers. It is essential to know the average morphometric measurement values of the pons in the early diagnosis of developmental and acquired diseases of this structure.

Keywords:

Magnetic resonance imaging, pediatric population, pons,
