MORPHOMETRY AND TOPOGRAPHY OF THE DEEP BRAIN STRUCTURES IN NORMAL CONDITIONS AND IN THE PRESENCE OF SPACE-OCCUPYING LESIONS BASED ON MRI DATA

Abstract

This study analyzes the morphometric parameters and spatial relationships of the deep brain structures under normal anatomical conditions and in patients with intracranial space-occupying lesions. MRI-based measurements demonstrate significant patterns of displacement, deformation, and volumetric changes in basal ganglia, thalamus, internal capsule, and ventricular structures. The findings emphasize the diagnostic and prognostic value of MRI morphometry in identifying mass effect, planning neurosurgical interventions, and improving differential diagnosis.
