- Abstract
Objective: The correlation of bone measurements with soft tissue structures on radiological images makes reconstruction studies more meaningful. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between bone and soft tissue with reference to porus acusticus externus. Methods: The study was carried out on three dimensional cranial region computed tomography (CT) images of 50 (24 male, 26 female) obtained from Uludağ University School of Medicine Department of Radiology. The distance between some anthropometric points was measured with Image J program. SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: It was determined that the majority of the parameters differed between male and female individuals. While high correlation was found between horizontal measurements, did not exist in vertical measurements. The highest regression value was determined that the distance between prosthion-labiale superior and regression formulas were created. For women; Labiale superior distance=6.997+1.065* prosthion distance, R2=0.981; For men; Labiale superior distance=11.17+0.992* prosthion distance R2= 0.967. Conclusion: In our study, measurements were taken to determine the shape of the face by referencing porus acusticus externus on the temporal bone. There is no study in the literature using porus acusticus externus, we believe that the formulas produced in line with the results will contribute greatly to the studies aimed at determining the face shape.
