Three-dimensional analysis of sphenoid sinus uniqueness for assessing...
AbstractSphenoid sinuses are considered the most variable structures of human body: therefore, they may be used for personal identification, through the application of 3D segmentation procedures. This...

AbstractAimSince the response to conservative and surgical treatments in lymphedema is based only on clinical evaluation, we want to propose a new technique for the volume calculation of lower...
View ArticleRelation between volume of sphenoid sinuses and protrusion of Vidian nerve:...
AbstractPurposeVidian neurectomy is a surgical procedure applied to different pathological conditions, including chronic rhinitis and sphenopalatine neuralgia. The choice of the correct surgical...
View ArticleCT angiography of lower extremities from anatomy to traumatic and...
AbstractAfter the introduction and the quick improvement of multidetector computed tomography technology, computed tomographic angiography (CTA) has become the imaging examination of choice for the...
View ArticleCT examination and 3D analysis of Egyptian animal mummies
AbstractAimTo report our experience on CT investigation of animal mummies, focusing on the practical and radiological aspects of the study, the acquisition parameters and the different reconstruction...
View ArticleAre coding systems of frontal sinuses anatomically reliable? A study of...
AbstractFrontal sinuses are of special interest for personal identification thanks to their high variability. A common procedure for comparing ante-mortem and post-mortem material is based on coding...
View ArticleSphenoid sinuses: pneumatisation and anatomical variants—what the radiologist...
AbstractPurposeSphenoid sinuses are pneumatised structures, placed in the body of the sphenoid bone, with highly variable morphology. The strict relationships with vascular and nervous structures...
View ArticleRelationship between lateral angle and shape of internal acoustic canal:...
AbstractLateral angle (LA) of the internal acoustic canal (IAC) at its opening at the surface of the petrous portion of the temporal bone is known in literature as a dimorphic measurement useful for...

AbstractObjectiveRetinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) is a biomarker of neuroaxonal loss and index of visual function in multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to assess the correlation between...
View ArticleDoes the choice of the reference model affect the results of 3D-3D...
AbstractIn literature, 3D-3D superimposition has been widely recognized as a valid method for personal identification. However, very little information is available about possible variability due to...
View ArticleImproving 3D-3D facial registration methods: potential role of...
AbstractPersonal identification of the living from video surveillance systems usually involves 2D images. However, the potentiality of three-dimensional facial models in gaining personal identification...
View ArticleExploring the potential of cranial non-metric traits as a tool for personal...
AbstractForensic anthropologists tasked with identification of skeletal remains often have to set up new strategies to overcome the limitations of conventional individualizing markers. A sound...
View ArticleNon-contrast magnetic resonance lymphography (NCMRL) in cancer-related...
AbstractCancer-related secondary lymphedema (LE) is a widespread issue, which markedly affects patients’ quality of life. Its diagnosis is mainly clinical since there is no consensus on the best...
View ArticleComputed tomography in traumatic orbital emergencies: a pictorial...
AbstractComputed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard technique for the assessment of trauma patients with suspected involvement of the eye and orbit. These traumas can result in dramatic...
View ArticleDigital pair-matching of iliac bones: pilot study on a three-dimensional...
AbstractThree-dimensional (3D) pair-matching has brought about an innovative approach for the analysis of commingled skeletal remains, and it has been tested on bone models acquired through CT and...
