3. Transverse cerebellar diameter measurement (TCD) : The cerebellar view is obtained by rotating the transducer in the axial plane centered on the thalamus to show the cerebellar hemispheres. This view shows the cerebellum, the cistern magna and the cavum septum pellucidi. The cerebellum characteristically appears as two lobules in either side of midline in the posterior cranial fossa. The widest diameter of the cerebellum is measured(16). Fig. 5: Ultrasonographic Measurement of Transverse…
