Diagram demonstrating how to measure:
- frontal horn width
- intercaudate distance
- inner table width
FH/CC ratio: normal mean 2.2 to 2.6 (this ratio decreases with aging as a result of enlargement of the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles).
CC/IT ratio : normal mean 0.09 to 0.12

Case Discussion
Both of these ratios are useful in younger patients with suspected Huntington disease and become abnormal before the caudates appear abnormal to visual inspection alone.
