However, two-dimensional (2-D) cranial US can be used at the bedside on a daily basis. To assess whether the ventricular volume can be determined accurately using US. We included 31 preterm infants with germinal matrix intraventricular haemorrhage. Two-dimensional cranial US images were acquired and the ventricular index, anterior horn width and thalamo-occipital distance were measured. In addition, cranial MRI was performed. The ventricular volume on MRI was determined using a previously validated automatic segmentation algorithm. We obtained the correlation and created a linear model between MRI-derived ventricular volume and 2-D cranial US measurements. The ventricular index, anterior horn width and thalamo-occipital distance as measured on 2-D cranial US were significantly associated with the volume of the ventricles as determined with MRI. A general linear model fitted the data best: ∛ventricular volume (ml) = 1.096 + 0.094 × anterior horn width (mm) + 0.020 × thalamo-occipital distance (mm) with R2 = 0.831. The volume of the lateral ventricles of infants with germinal matrix intraventricular haemorrhage can be estimated using 2-D cranial US images by application of a model.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/BrainGerminal matrix intraventricular haemorrhageInfantsMagnetic resonance imagingUltrasoundVentricular volumeCerebral HemorrhageCerebral VentriclesFemaleHumansInfant, NewbornInfant, PrematureMagnetic Resonance ImagingMaleOrgan SizeReproducibility of ResultsUltrasonographyresearch article31691845open access10.1007/s00247-019-04542-x1432-1998PMC6978291https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00247-019-04542-x.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6978291/pdf
