Summary

44 normal adults were examined by computer tomography (CT) with the fine matrix EMI scanner. Measurements of the width of the hemispheric sulci were possible in all but one case. An average value of 3.4 mm was found, but no sexual difference or influence of age could be shown statistically. The necessity of larger investigations of the normal population is stressed.

Résumé

L'auteur détermine une largeur moyenne de 3,5 mm des sillons corticaux hémisphériques. Statistiquement il n'y a pas de différences en fonction de l'âge ou du sexe.

Zusammenfassung

Bei 44 Erwachsenen wurden mit der Computer-Tomographie (EMI-Scanner) mit der 160/160 Matrix Messungen über die Weite der Furchen der Hirnrinde durchgeführt. Dabei wurde ein Durchschnittswert von 3,4 mm gefunden.
