An analysis of full skull cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 180 patients to measure the upper airway volumes and analyze correlations with age and gender is of interest. Results showed that 45% of patients had reduced airway volume, 21.7% had increased volume and 33.3% had normal volumes. Male patients had significantly higher volumes of the nasopharyngeal (NPV) and total upper airway volume (TV) values, with a notable age-related decrease in oropharyngeal (OPV). The study highlights gender and age as significant factors influencing airway volumes.
对180例患者的全颅骨锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)进行分析,以测量上气道容积并分析其与年龄和性别的相关性,这一研究很有意义。结果显示,45%的患者气道容积减小,21.7%的患者气道容积增加,33.3%的患者气道容积正常。男性患者的鼻咽部容积(NPV)和上气道总容积(TV)值显著更高,口咽部容积(OPV)随年龄有显著下降。该研究强调性别和年龄是影响气道容积的重要因素。
