Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Bone thickness | Bone thickness measured at grid intersections |
Mean bone thickness | Mean bone thickness referring to all measured points of one ramus |
Ramus height | Distance from the horizontal baseline to the sigmoid notch |
Ramus width | Distance from the vertical baseline to the anterior notch |
Gonion angle | Angle between the vertical and horizontal baseline |
Dorsal lingula position | Distance from the tip of the lingula to the dorsal tangent of the ramus |
Caudal lingula position | Distance from the tip of the lingula to the caudal tangent of the ramus |
