Figure 2

Seven morphological parameters quantified. Posterior horn width (PH_Wid): the distance measured between the most posterior and anterior aspects of the posterior horn; anterior horn width (AH_Wid): the distance measured between the most posterior and anterior aspects of the anterior horn; posterior horn length (PH_ Len): the distance measured between the most lateral aspect of the lateral horn and the most medial aspect of the posterior horn; anterior horn length (AH_ Len): the distance measured between the most lateral aspect of the lateral horn and the most medial aspect of the anterior horn; posterior horn to anterior horn distance (PA_Dis): the distance measured between the coronal planes through the middle of the medial aspect of the anterior and posterior horns; lateral peripheral horn thickness (LPH_Thic): the distance measured between the most lateral aspects on the superior and inferior surfaces of the lateral horn; lateral peripheral horn width (LPH_Wid): the distance measured between the most lateral and medial aspects of the lateral horn.
