About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Alveolar Antral Artery Canal Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: Anatomical Characteristics and Imaging Method Performance
This research project aims to improve understanding of the alveolar antral artery canal, an anatomical structure located in the maxilla, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The project includes several studies examining the canal's anatomy and anatomical variations, as well as evaluating different CBCT-based methods for identifying and mapping the canal. The findings will help determine the accuracy and usefulness of these imaging approaches and may improve preoperative assessment and surgical planning for procedures involving the maxilla.
Read the detailed description
This study will analyze anonymized cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images obtained from a Polish dental imaging facility. Only scans previously acquired for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes and meeting predefined image quality criteria will be included. The study will investigate the anatomical characteristics of the alveolar antral artery canal, including its course and intra-sinus trajectory, and evaluate different CBCT-based methods for canal identification and mapping. Anatomical variations and the diagnostic performance of the evaluated imaging methods will be assessed using appropriate statistical analyses. The results are expected to provide a comprehensive characterization of the alveolar antral artery canal and support improvements in preoperative imaging assessment and surgical planning.
