“…However, we found the foramen of Vesalius on the simple thin-sliced horizontal CT image, as shown in clinical cases (Borges, 2008a). Both threedimensional and thin-sliced CT images must be combined to find small variations in the foramen.…”

Two mainland Japanese males were examined with a computer tomography (CT) X-ray scanner to reconstruct three-dimensional CT simulation images of their cranial anatomy and to check for the presence/absence of 23 nonmetric cranial traits. Surface anatomy for scoring 19 nonmetric cranial variations was clearly observed among the 23 variations. Evaluation of the four other traits might have been disturbed due to dental treatment history, small variations in the images, or X-ray radiation condition. However, these disturbances could be overcome by a combination of simple thin-sliced CT images and magnetic resonance imaging. We have thus developed a new anatomical field for elucidating human morphology.

“…Sinonasal tumours can easily spread along the lamina papyracea into the orbit and via the cranial nerves into the central skull base. 10 Solid enhancement distinguishes these tumours from retained secretions ( Fig. 5) and mucosal inflammation with the caveat that large tumours can show central necrosis.…”

“…10 It is however important to accurately describe the anatomic spread of the tumour and identify the structures involved as this will determine the lesion resectability and would help planning the optimal and safest route for biopsy. For example, invasion of vascular structures such as the ICA or cavernous sinus could preclude radical resection.…”

Skull base imagingHead and neck Skull base tumours Oncology a b s t r a c tThe skull base is a highly complex and difficult to access anatomical region, which constitutes a relatively common site for neoplasms. Imaging plays a central role in establishing the differential diagnosis, to determine the anatomic tumour spread and for operative planning. All skull base imaging should be performed using thin-section multiplanar imaging, whereby CT and MRI can be considered complimentary. An interdisciplinary team approach is central to improve the outcome of these challenging tumours.
