MRI imaging studies of pineal gland in normal human brain
Objective To establish the parameter standard of pineal gland and discuss the changing rule of different groups by gender and age in health adults on MRI. Methods A total of 327 adult heads were scanned by using 3D MR sequences，pineal gland and its related structures were observed and analyzed. Results The length of the pineal gland was（7.12±1.11）mm in the female group，and (6.52±1.01) mm in the male group（female>male，P<0.05); The width of the pineal gland was (5.72±0.98) mm in the female group，and (5.38±1.07) mm in the male group; The height of the pineal gland was (4.38±0.43) mm in the female group，and (4.03±0.62) mm in the male group; The volume of the pineal gland in female group was (88.92±27.90) mm3，and (74.35±23.62) mm3 in the male group （female>male，P<0.05). Conclusions Length and volume of the pineal gland in female group were larger than in male group; Gender difference of the volume of the pineal gland occurred between 31 to 60 years old.
