Estimation of Normal Corpus Callosum among Adult using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

The aim of this study was to measurement of corpus callosum (CC) concerning gender and age related variation for Sudanese population using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study was done on the time period from September to December 2021 in almoalem medical city and Ahmed gasim hospital within MRI machine scan department in Khartoum. MRI scan done for 51males and 49 females, ranging in age from 25 to 80 years, were reviewed. Only MRI studies without pathological finding were included in the study analysis. The data was collected by using data collection sheet include variables(gender, age, length of cc, thickness of rostrum, thickness of genu, thickness of body and thickness of splenium) and analyzed by statistical package for social science and correlation persons coefficient(SPSS). The study results were presented the length of corpus callosum 75.93mm and the thickness was divided to rostrum 6.95mm, genu 10.60mm, body 6.13mm and splenium 11.28mm. The study found there was statistically significant correlation between age and [genu, splenium, body and rostrum thickness] (p-values < 0.05), statistically insignificant correlation between age and length CC (p-values > 0.05) and between gender and [length CC, genu, splenium, body and rostrum thickness] (p-values > 0.05). There was statistically significant difference between age groups in [length CC, genu, splenium, body and rostrum thickness] (sig. < 0.05). Also the study found in frequency of males 51 and females 49 was no significant difference in corpus callosum. The study concluded that the magnetic resonance imaging was the best modalities for measurement of corpus callosum. The study concluded to that the magnetic resonance imaging was the best modalities for measurement of corpus callosum.
