The purpose of this study is to confirm the double of optic foramen in Korean and apply it to the Rhese method. First, the angle between the right optic foramen and the MSP was measured on the axial image using MPR technique of the 3D CT. Second, we measured the angle between the right optic foramen and OML in sagittal of MPR images. As a result, the angle between the optic foramen and the MSP was $39.9{\pm}4.63^{\circ}$ on average, which was different from the $53^{\circ}$ presented by Rhese method(p<0.05). The angle between optic foramen and OML was $40.8{\pm}6.6^{\circ}$. In conclusion, this study confirms that the standard of the Rhese method proposed in current textbook is difficult to apply to Koreans. Therefore, it is necessary to study angle of Korean standard in various general x-ray technique.

This study was performed to evaluate the size and asymmetry of the lateral ventricles in CT images of three different small breed dogs. CT examinations were performed on thirty Yorkshire terriers, malteses, and shihtzu dogs, respectively. The size and asymmetry of their lateral ventricles were evaluated at three different levels of brain, and dogs were categorized on the basis of the percentage of their ventricular height (Vh) to brain height (Bh). Degree of asymmetry was also categorized based on the rVh (ratio of right and left ventricular heights) as normal (rVh < 1.5), mild (1.5 < rVh < 2.0), or severe (2.0 < rVh). Clinically insignificant ventricular dilation was common in these breed dogs. However, severe asymmetry was not presented in clinically normal dogs. We suggested 11 mm as an upper limit of ventricular size in normal small breed dogs.
