Finite element modeling of the human head offers an alternative to experimental methods in understanding the biomechanical response of the head in trauma brain injuries. Falx, tentorium, and their notches are important structures surrounding the brain, and data about their anatomical variations are sparse.

To describe and quantify anatomical variations of falx cerebri, tentorium cerebelli, and their notches.
