Background: The volume and morphology of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) of the human brain can be affected by age. Its quantitative assessment might be aiding the clinicians. Objective: To estimate the STG volume in MRI using DICOM viewer in adults deprived of structural brain abnormality, to correlate the volume with age, and to determine its variations between/and within the sexes. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was performed in Al-Amal Hospital, Sudan (April 2021 and March 2022). STG volume was delineated along the entire STG borders. Using SPSS version 25.0 data were processed. Results: It included a MRI brain of 50 adult patients (equal genders); their mean age was 33.12± 8.29 years (range, 20 to 49 years). STG volume was adversely interrelated with age (r =−0.318 and P=0.024), significantly differed bilaterally within sexes (P =0.000), and was greater on the left in both genders. A significant gender difference was observed regarding STG volume, p = 0.000. Conclusion: DICOM can be used to assess the STG morphometrically to detect any pathological variations, based on volume changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
