Abstract

In this study, we aim to investigate the correlation between the lateral images of Korean skulls and the angle between the OML and the Body of the Mandible. Additionally, we seek to provide criteria for the ease of positioning in clinical settings and establish standardized imaging procedures for the PNS Water's view examination. This study was conducted on a total of 202 patients who visited the radiology department of a general hospital and examined the skull lateral radiography. In addition to the patient images, skull phantoms were also utilized, and images were obtained using GC85A and EOS equipment. In this research, abbreviations related to the angle of the Body of Mandible were defined using PACS on lateral images. Measurements were taken for various angles, including ramus of mandible angle(RIA), accurate OML angle(TIA), OML and IR Angle(OIA), total mandibular length(TML), ramus height(RH), the angle between the pogonion, gonion, and condylion(MA). The validity of these measurements was confirmed using the skull phantom in the study. The age-specific average range for RIA was 22.67° to 26.04°, with measurements of 23.14° for males and 24.78° for females. The age-related mean ranges for TIA and OIA were 35.98° to 38.31° and 72.27° to 75.25°, respectively. For males, TIA was 36.74° and OIA was 72.73°, while for females, TIA was 36.43° and OIA was 73.38°. The age-dependent measurements for TML and RH ranged from 85.73 mm to 89.60 mm and 62.60 mm to 70.87 mm, respectively. Male values were 90.54 mm and 70.78 mm, while female values were 85.13 mm and 61.54 mm for TML and RH, respectively. The age-specific average range for MA was 55.95° to 58.63°, with measurements of 57.96° for males and 57.76° for females. Correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between RIA and OIA, as well as between RIA and TIA. Based on the results of this study, which indicate a positive correlation between the angle of the Body of Mandible and the OML, it can be inferred that adjusting the mandible vertically to align with the imaging receptor may contribute to more accurate image acquisition during PNS Water's view examination. Therefore, it is believed that there is value in utilizing this relationship as a criterion for establishing new positioning standards, which could enhance the utility of a new positioning guide.

본 연구에서는 한국인의 두개골 측방향 방사선 검사 영상을 통해 안와이공선(OML)과 아래턱뼈 몸통(Body of mandible) 각도 간의 상관관계를 알아보고, 임상에서 PNS Water's view 검사 시 자세 잡이의 용이성과 정형화된 영상 구현을 위한 검사 자세에 대한 새로운 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 상급종합병원 방사선 검사실에 내원한 환자 중 두개부 측방향 방사선 검사를 시행한 총 202명의 영상과 두부 팬텀을 대상으로 진행하였고, X선 발생 장치와 EOS 장비를 사용하여 두부 팬텀 영상을 획득하였다. 본 연구는 PACS를 이용하여 환자의 두개부 측방향 영상에서 OML과 아래턱뼈몸통 각에 관련된 약어를 설정하여 턱뼈 가지 각(RIA), 정확한 OML 각(TIA), OML과 IR의 각(OIA), 아래턱뼈 길이(TML), 턱뼈 가지 높이(RH), 턱 끝점, 턱뼈 각점, 관절 돌기점이 이루는 각(MA)을 측정하였고, 두부 팬텀을 이용하여 유효성을 확인했다. RIA의 연령별 평균값 범위는 22.67~26.04°이었고, 남성은 23.14°, 여성은 24.78°로 측정되었다. 연령에 따른 TIA와 OIA의 평균값 범위는 35.98~38.31°와 72.27~75.25°이었고, 남성은 36.74°와 72.73°, 여성은 36.43°와 73.38°로 나타났다. TML과 RH의 연령별 크기는 85.73~89.60 mm와 62.60~70.87 mm의 범위로 나타났고, 남성과 여성의 값은 각각 90.54 mm 70.78 mm와 85.13 mm, 61.54 mm이었다. MA의 연령별 평균값의 범위는 55.95~58.63°이었으며, 남성은 57.96°, 여성은 57.76°이었다. 각 변수 간 상관관계 분석 결과 RIA와 OIA, TIA는 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과, 아래턱뼈몸통 각과 OML 과의 관계가 양의 상관성을 나타내는 것으로 보아 아래턱뼈를 영상 수용체에 수직으로 조정하는 방법을 적용한다면 PNS Water's 검사 시 보다 정확한 영상 구현에 도움이 될 것으로 사료되며, 새로운 자세 잡이를 위한 기준으로 활용가치가 있다고 생각된다.
