Measured distances between sella-turcica landmarks.

TS-MS to DS-MSLength of sella-turcicaTuberculum Sella Midsagittal (TS-MS) plane: midpoint on the anterior boundary of sella-turcica identified on the midsagittal plane; Dorsum Sella Midsagittal (DS-MS) plane: midpoint on the posterior boundary of the sell-turcica on the midsagittal plane

ACP-R to PCP-RInterclinoid distance rightAnterior clinoid process, right (ACP-R): the apex of the anterior clinoid process on the right side; posterior clinoid process, right (PCP-R): the apex of the posterior clinoid process on the right side
