The applicability of Fourier analysis to quantitate the midsagittal cranial base has been demonstrated utilizing fetal Macaca nemestrina. This methodology accurately measures the irregular form of the endocranial profile, minimizes the effects of size, and maximizes shape differences. This method provides a quantitative dimension to the descriptive analysis of shape change previously observed with a combined histologic and cephalometric analysis.
利用胎儿豚尾猕猴已证明傅里叶分析在定量矢状位颅底方面的适用性。这种方法能够准确测量颅内轮廓的不规则形态，将大小的影响降至最低，并使形状差异最大化。该方法为先前通过组织学和头影测量分析相结合所观察到的形状变化的描述性分析提供了一个定量维度。
