The normal range and position of the pineal gland on computed tomography

JY Hahn, K Rim and RL Schapiro

Precise measurements with the Vanguard Motion Analyzer were made to determine the position of the pineal gland as shown on the Polaroid displays of 145 normal scans. The relatively midline positions of the gland are expressed in terms of percentage shift of the gland in these 145 normal cases is defined by a mean value of 0.8% with a standard deviation of 0.6%. More than 99% of normal CT scans can be expected to show a percentage shift of 2.6% or less.
