Modal Anatomy of the Ethmoid Bone

An observational study of Anatomic Abnormality, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France.

Trial summary

The creation of a 3D model of modal anatomy of the ethmoid could, like other parts of the body, improve anatomical, radiological and perhaps even surgical learning. Anatomical variations might constitute a "background noise" of the modal anatomy, which can be attenuated by multiplying the instances of acquisitions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Constitution d'un modèle 3D d'Anatomie Modale de L'Ethmoide Par intégration de Multiples Instances d'Acquisition

The creation of a 3D model of modal anatomy of the ethmoid could, like other parts of the body, improve anatomical, radiological and perhaps even surgical learning. Anatomical variations might constitute a "background noise" of the modal anatomy, which can be attenuated by multiplying the instances of acquisitions. The objective of this work is to establish modal anatomy of the ethmoid by the analysis of a large number of CT-scan acquisitions carried out in individuals with no acquired sinus pathology.

Read the detailed description

Non-interventional descriptive research.

Sinus CTscans (period 2016-2019) will be reviewed from the PACS database of the CHRU of Nancy and selected in individuals without sinus pathology. All CT-scans will be fully anonymized. 26 landmarks will be pointed out to enable :

  1. prior images alignment (centering on the median line, realignment rotations then resizing)
  2. a mean and median calculation, allowing to establish a mean and median ethmoid model
  3. calculation of standard deviations for each voxel The structures obtained in this way (bone, tissue or aerial) will be described anatomically.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Descriptive study of the anatomy of the final 3D model

    Descriptive study

    The study aims to produce the "modal" (generic) model from all the individual sub-models.

    The structures obtained will be described anatomically by ENT experts: the created model will be described in comparison with anatomical data from literature: constant structures (e.g. middle turbinate, inferior turbinate, or orbital wall) will be listed and described (sites of insertion, direction, form), while variations in anatomical structures will be described through the variance (variances of voxels, pooled for each anatomical sub-site) (e.g. anterior ethmoid, sphenoid...). The heat map of voxels' variances will be superposed on the final model.

    No scale/physiological parameter/questionnaire can be used for anatomical description of a single model. Therefore we don't really understand your remark "Please further specify the measurement that will be used (e.g., descriptive name of scale, physiological parameter, questionnaire) to assess this outcome measure."

    Measured: Through completion of the study: 1 month (The model will be available only at the end of the study, after implementation of all CT-scans)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anatomic Abnormality, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patrice Gallet (0383155419, patrice.gallet@yahoo.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Descriptive study of the anatomy of the final 3D model (time frame: Through completion of the study: 1 month (The model will be available only at the end of the study, after implementation of all CT-scans)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jun 2021.
