“…Hacl et al [ 8 ] measured the volume of the frontal sinus from 36 facial CT scans, and found that it was 4.2 and 5.2 cm 3 for the right and left frontal sinuses, respectively, in males, and 2.9 and 3.1 cm 3 in females. However, these differences were not statistically significant.…”

“…Some studies have performed frontal sinus measurements using 3D reconstruction analysis. Hacl et al [ 8 ] reported the height, width, depth and volume of the frontal sinus in 36 facial CT, and analyzed the side and sex differences. Yun et al [ 3 ] reviewed 352 facial CT scans from patients younger than 23 years to evaluate the development of the frontal sinus over time using width, height, length, and volume data.…”

Three-dimensional linear and volumetric computed tomography analysis of the frontal sinus

The frontal sinus is one of the four paranasal sinuses in humans, and knowledge of its anatomy is important when performing surgery involving the frontal bone or sinus. Although many studies have measured the frontal sinus using radiography and computed tomography (CT), few studies have evaluated by using three-dimensional (3D) analysis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the frontal sinus using 3D reconstruction analysis and determine the differences in linear and volumetric measurements between sexes, sides, and ages. The sample comprised 281 facial CT scans: 173 and 108 from males and females, respectively. The width, height, and length of each frontal sinus and total volume were all larger in males than in females. Almost all linear and volumetric measurements were larger in young adults than in older for both sexes, but not all of the differences were statistically significant. Linear and volumetric measurements were larger for males than females regardless of age group. There were no statistically significant differences between the right and left sides except the width in males. The size of the frontal sinus was strongly influenced by sex and age. The measurements reported here might be useful for improving surgical procedures involving the frontal sinus.

“…Asymmetry of the frontal sinuses has been documented with the left sinus tending to be larger (Aslier et al, 2016; Hacl et al, 2017; Kanat et al, 2015; Kim, 1962; Rennie et al, 2017b; Rubira‐Bullen et al, 2010; Spaeth et al, 1997; Tatlisumak et al, 2017; Yoshino et al, 1987). One study documented asymmetry in 86% of individuals with the left sinus being larger in 59% of asymmetrical cases (Kanat et al, 2015).…”

Pediatric paranasal sinuses—Development, growth, pathology, & functional endoscopic sinus surgery

et al. 2022

The paranasal sinuses (maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses) are complex anatomical structures. The development and growth of these have been investigated utilizing a number of different methods ranging from cadaveric analysis to modern cross sectional imaging with 3D modeling. An understanding of normal pediatric paranasal sinus embryology and development enables us to better determine when pathology may be affecting the normal developmental process.Cystic fibrosis, chronic sinusitis, deviated nasal septum and cleft lip and palate are some of the conditions which have been shown to effect paranasal sinus development to varying degrees. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is becoming increasingly common and an understanding of sinus anatomy together with when periods of rapid growth occur during childhood is important clinically. Although concerns have been raised regarding the impact of FESS on facial growth, there is limited evidence of this in regards to either changes in anthropomorphic measurements or clinical assessments of symmetry post operatively.

“…The CT-CT comparison approach is the most reliable one, since the 3D shapes can be directly compared [149][150][151][152]. A few computerized approaches have been proposed for the comparison of AM and PM 3D data of different skeletal structures such as teeth [153][154][155], frontal sinuses [156], or lumbar vertebrae [157].…”

This paper represents the first survey on the application of AI techniques for the analysis of biomedical images with forensic human identification purposes. Human identification is of great relevance in today’s society and, in particular, in medico-legal contexts. As consequence, all technological advances that are introduced in this field can contribute to the increasing necessity for accurate and robust tools that allow for establishing and verifying human identity. We first describe the importance and applicability of forensic anthropology in many identification scenarios. Later, we present the main trends related to the application of computer vision, machine learning and soft computing techniques to the estimation of the biological profile, the identification through comparative radiography and craniofacial superimposition, traumatism and pathology analysis, as well as facial reconstruction. The potentialities and limitations of the employed approaches are described, and we conclude with a discussion about methodological issues and future research.
