Transtemporal Ultrasound (US) Assessment of Third Ventricle Diameter (TVD): Comparison of US and MRI TVD in Pediatric Patients

Conclusion US- and MRI-based TVD measurements correlate excellently and measure almost identical TVD values. US-based TVD is in mean ∼0.096 mm larger than MRI-based TVD due to a more angulated measurement plane. US is equal to the gold-standard MRI, a fact, opening new avenues for US-based TVD as a first-line assessment tool of ventricular width.
