Abstract

Purpose: This study utilized cone-beam computed tomography images to assess the potential of maxillary sinus (MS) and piriform aperture (PA) measurements in sex prediction and to identify possible correlations between these structures and the MS ostium.

Methods: A total of 204 images were selected and divided into two groups: 102 for constructing and testing the formula, and 102 for validation. In each subgroup, the images were equally divided for 11 measurements by two examiners in the MS (height, width, length, and total width), PA (height and width), and maxillary ostium diameter.

Results: Significant correlations were found in males and in the total analysis for all measurements of the right MS, while the length of the left MS showed a positive correlation with PA height. In the total analysis, the height of the left MS and the total width along the MS also positively correlated with PA height. When tested, the constructed formula resulted in an accuracy of 82.4%.

Conclusion: Tomographic images proved to be excellent tools for sex prediction, as the measurements described in this study could be reproduced and analyzed in different populations, considering that craniometric characteristics may vary across populations.

上颌窦和蝶形孔的高度对性别预测很有价值：锥形束计算机断层扫描研究。

目的：本研究利用锥形束计算机断层扫描图像评估上颌窦（MS）和梨状孔（PA）测量在性别预测中的潜力，并确定这些结构与MS口之间可能的相关性。方法：共选取204张图像，分为两组：102张用于构建和检验公式，102张用于验证。在每个亚组中，图像由两名检查人员在MS（高度、宽度、长度和总宽度）、PA（高度和宽度）和上颌口直径等方面进行11次测量。结果：男性和右侧MS的所有测量值在总分析中均存在显著相关，而左侧MS的长度与PA高度呈正相关。在总分析中，左侧质谱高度和沿质谱总宽度也与PA高度呈正相关。经检验，所建公式的计算精度为82.4%。结论：考虑到不同人群的颅骨特征不同，断层扫描图像被证明是预测性别的优秀工具，因为本研究中描述的测量结果可以在不同人群中重现和分析。

期刊介绍： Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit. Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest. Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
