Radio-Morphometric Evaluation of the Parieto-Occipital and Calcarine Sulci: Implications for Neurosurgical Navigation

The findings confirm the morphometric independence and relative stability of the POS and CS, reinforcing their value as reliable anatomical guides in neurosurgical and radiological practice. Their consistent presence and resistance to age-related variation make them particularly suitable for surgical planning and orientation in clinical imaging. Future research should incorporate advanced modalities such as functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging to investigate connectivity and validate these sulci as anchor points in surgical simulation and diagnostic frameworks.

Abstract

The findings confirm the morphometric independence and relative stability of the POS and CS, reinforcing their value as reliable anatomical guides in neurosurgical and radiological practice. Their consistent presence and resistance to age-related variation make them particularly suitable for surgical planning and orientation in clinical imaging. Future research should incorporate advanced modalities such as functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging to investigate connectivity and validate these sulci as anchor points in surgical simulation and diagnostic frameworks.
