Figure 5

Illustration of measured areas as published by Franchi et al. 1. Anterior sutural ROI (AS ROI): density values measured in the ROI located along the midpalatal suture 5 mm in front of the center of the nasopalatine duct at T0, T1, and T2. 2. Posterior sutural ROI (PS ROI): density values measured in the ROI located along midpalatal suture 5 mm posterior to the center of the nasopalatine duct at T0, T1, and T2. 3. Anterior bony ROI (AB ROI): density values measured in the ROI located on the palatal bone 3 mm laterally (on the right side) to the AS ROI at T0. 4. Posterior bony ROI (PB ROI): density values measured in the ROI located on the palatal bone 3 mm laterally (on the right side) to the PS ROI at T0. 5. Additionally to the rectangular ROI values “polyline”-measurements of the entire suture were performed in regard to the individual anatomy.
