Evaluation of Platybasia with MR Imaging

Description: American Journal of Neuroradiology 26:89-92, January 2005 Full text
METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated midline sagittal MR images in 200 adults and 50 children.
CONCLUSION: Both the standard and modified MR imaging techniques produced basal angles lower than those previously reported with standard radiography. The modified technique uses clearly featured landmarks that can be reproduced consistently on midline sagittal T1 images. This technique and its corresponding values can be used as the new standard for evaluating the basal angle.
