    Author: Xie B, Yuan J, Zheng X, Wu Z, Wan J, Guo Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Er Bi Yan Hou Ke Za Zhi; 2002 Feb; 37(1):38-40. PubMed ID: 12768793.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To measure the ostium area of normal maxillary sinus and maxillary sinus with inflammation on virtual endoscopy. METHODS: After scanning on coronal or axial position, data were transferred to workstation. Such anatomic structures as ostiomeatal complex (OMC) were viewed by virtual endoscopy (VE). Under the same condition, pixel/mm was worked out. RESULTS: Turbinates, meati and ostiomeatal complex were clearly viewed by virtual endoscopy(VE). The area of normal maxillary ostium was (16.45 +/- 1.21) mm2; the area of abnormal ostium was (18.28 +/- 2.12) mm2. The outside area of ethmoid infundibulum was (15.07 +/- 0.78) mm2 with normal maxillary sinus, and (17.19 +/- 1.59) mm2 maxillary sinus with inflamed. CONCLUSIONS: The areas of mormal and inflamed maxillary sinuses are equal, the outside areas of ethmoid infundibulum are unequal for normal maxillary sinus and maxillary sinus with inflammation.
