The flocculus in computed tomography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The flocculus may simulate a cerebellopontine angle mass in computed tomography (CT). The CT appearance of the flocculus was compared with acoustic neuroma. Normal internal auditory canals, symmetric cerebellopontine angle cisterns, modest contrast enhancement, and a location posterior to the porus acousticus distinguish the flocculus from an acoustic neuroma.

Avian Cerebellar Floccular Fossa Size Is Not a Proxy for Flying Ability in Birds
Extinct animal behavior has often been inferred from qualitative assessments of relative brain region size in fossil endocranial casts. For instance, flight capability in pterosaurs and early birds has been inferred from the relative size of the cerebellar flocculus, which in life protrudes from the lateral surface of the cerebellum. A primary role of the flocculus is to integrate sensory infor...

متن کاملDose Assessment in Computed Tomography Examination and Establishment of Local Diagnostic Reference Levels in Mazandaran, Iran
Background: Medical X-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. While the benefits of Computed Tomography (CT) are well known in accurate diagnosis, those benefits are not risk-free. CT is a device with higher patient dose in comparison with other conventional radiation procedures. Objective: This study is aimed at evaluating radiation dose to patients from ...
