MATERIAL and METHODS: In this study, 13 brain specimens were used. First, the images were taken in 3 mm sections on MRI, the thickness of the thalamus was measured. Subsequently, 4 mm coronal sections were prepared using a microtome. The thalamic volumes calculated from cadaveric specimens were compared with the measurements obtained using MRI. RESULTS: On MRI, the mean thalamic volumes on the right and left hemispheres were found to be 5843.4 ± 361.6 mm3 and 5377.0 ± 666.2 mm3 respectively. The mean volumes of the cadaveric sections were 5610.8 ± 401.3 mm3 on the right side and 5618.5 ± 604.1 mm3 on the left hemisphere. No statistically significant difference was found between the volume calculated from MRI and that obtained from the cadaveric section (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: This study shows a correlation between measurement of thalamus volume based on MRI and those calculated from anatomical sections. Our findings support the reliability of DBS procedures using MRI and stereotactic method. © 2020 Turkish Neurosurgical Society.Turkish Neurosurgical Society2020Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/13609https://doi.org/10.5137/1019-5149.jtn.24530-18.21019-5149enTurkish Neurosurgeryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/13609
