Tentorium cerebelli

Neuroimaging

Published in Sarah McWilliams, Practical Radiological Anatomy, 2011

o The dura has a thick crescent-shaped fold called the ten-torium cerebelli, or 'tent' for short, that separates the posterior fossa from the remaining brain (Fig. 1.14). This divides the brain into two compartments: the supraten-torial compartment containing the cerebral hemispheres lies above the tentorium cerebelli; the cerebellum lies below the tentorium cerebelli or infratentorially.

The WSUBIM included the skull, scalp, dura mater, pia mater, falx cerebri, falx and tentorium cerebelli, cerebrospinal fluid, lateral and third ventricles, cerebrum (grey and white matter), cerebellum, brainstem, parasagittal bridging veins and venous sinuses for a total of 314, 500 elements (hexahedral brick and shell), and a mass of 4.5 kg (Zhang, et al., 2001). The brain tissue was modelled using a combination of a linear viscoelastic model and a large-deformation theory (Zhang, et al., 2001). The shear modulus of the viscoelastic brain was characterised as:
