Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to find the most helpful midsagittal reference plane for diagnosis in PA cephalometry compared with 3D CT. Methods: The subjects consisted of 25 adults who showed no facial asymmetry by gross inspection. 3D CT and posteroanterior cephalogram of the subjects were taken. To find the most helpful midsagittal reference plane in PA cephalometry, we considered five kinds of midsagittal planes from which the distances to five landmarks were measured and compared the result with that of 3D CT. The midsagittal plane for 3D CT was determined by the landmarks Nasion, Sella and Basion. Results: PA measurements using the midsagittal reference plane on a perpendicular plane lying through the midpoint of the right and left latero-orbitales was closest to those of 3D CT. Conclusions: It was considered that latero-orbitale perpendicular could be used as the helpful midsagittal reference plane to assess facial asymmetry in PA cephalometry.

안면 비대칭의 평가에 있어 과거 정면 두부방사선 규격사진을 이용하던 것과는 다르게 현재는 점차 3D CT를 이용하여 평가하는 것으로 변하고 있다. 본 연구는 3D CT와의 비교를 이용하여 정면 두부방사선 규격사진 분석에서 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 시상 기준 평면을 찾고자 하였다. 임상적으로 안모 비대칭이 발견되지 않은 성인 환자들을 대상으로 3D CT와 정면 두부방사선 규격사진을 촬영하였고, 정면 두부방사선 규격사진 분석에서 이용되어 왔던 5가지 정중 시상 기준 평면을 선택하여 계측을 실시한 뒤 이 값을 3D CT의 Nasion (Na), Sella (S), Basion (Ba)으로 구성된 정중 시상 평면에 대한 계측값과 비교하였다. 그 결과 좌우측 latero-orbitale의 수직이등분선을 정중 시상 기준 평면으로 이용한 정면 두부방사선 규격사진 계측값이 3D CT의 Na, S, Ba으로 구성된 정중 시상 평면을 이용한 계측값과 가장 차이가 작았고 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 안면 비대칭 평가 시 좌우측 latero-orbitale의 수직이등분선이 정면 두부방사선 규격사진 분석에서 도움이 되는 정중 시상 기준 평면으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
