Total mastoid area is calculated by adding the right and left triangular areas defined by three distinct craniometric points: the Asterion, Porion and the Mastoidale. Eight skulls (40 males and 40 females) were analysed and total area calculated using Heron's formula. The

متن کاملUltrasound characterization of the mastoid for detecting middle ear effusion: A preliminary clinical validation
Ultrasound detection of middle ear effusion (MEE) is an emerging technique in otolaryngology. This study proposed using ultrasound characterization of the mastoid to noninvasively measure MEE-induced mastoid effusion (ME) as a new strategy for determining the presence of MEE. In total, 53 patients were enrolled (Group I: normal, n = 20; Group II: proven MEE through both otoscopy and tympanometr...
