Abstract

Purpose

The callosal angle (CA) is a useful biomarker in the diagnosis and management of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Used incorrectly, CA measurements are variable, affecting its reliability as a clinical tool. Our objectives are to evaluate (i) reproducibility of established CA measurements between trained raters and (ii) impact of minor angular mal-rotations of the true coronal plane on CA measurements.

Methods

CAs were measured by two independent raters on three-dimensional isovolumetric T1-weighted brain MRI of NPH patients and healthy controls using the established true coronal plane reformatted orthogonal to the plane containing the anterior-posterior commissural (AC-PC) line at the level of the posterior commissure. CA changes were subsequently evaluated when the coronal plane was mal-rotated by ± 5° and ± 10° in anterior-posterior and clockwise-anticlockwise directions. Inter-rater reliability of CA measurements was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

Results

On the true coronal plane, inter-rater ICC was excellent (0.973) for NPH patients and good (0.875) for controls. On mal-rotated coronal plane setups, ICC for CA was worse in controls (0.484–0.886) than NPH (0.879–0.981) groups and in clockwise-anticlockwise (0.484–0.956) than anterior-posterior (0.503–0.981) mal-rotations. CA changes secondary to mal-rotations from the true coronal plane were significant in NPH patients (P < 0.0001 to 0.0378) but not in controls (P > 0.1).

Conclusion

This is the first demonstration of how small angular mal-rotations of the coronal plane used for CA measurement affect its value and inter-rater reliability, highlighting the importance of a standardized protocol when measuring the CA in NPH workup.
