Abstract
The computer-based tutorial, "The Cerebral Ventricles," enables the user to review the anatomy, imaging, and common pathologic conditions of the human cerebral ventricular system. The program runs on a workstation that includes a laser videodisk player and a videodisk with 21,000 still images plus motion sequences. By using a mouse to select specific portions of the anatomic diagram depicting the ventricles, the user can review different planes of normal gross anatomy, corresponding computed tomographic and magnetic resonance images of normal anatomy, images of gross specimens of different pathologic entities, and corresponding radiologic images. The motion sequences portion of the program shows reconstructed three-dimensional images of ventricular anatomy and helps the user gain a greater understanding of the complex anatomy as seen from all angles. Subprograms provide more detailed information about anatomic relationships, disease entities, and bibliographic references. "The Cerebral Ventricles" assists radiologists in gaining a greater understanding of the ventricles so that an appropriate differential diagnosis of an intraventricular lesion can be offered when such masses are encountered in clinical practice.
