RESUMO
A ultrassonografia é um recurso de imagem para a finalidade de diagnosticar lesões e para avaliar o grau de vascularização intraóssea de tumores. No entanto, lesões intraósseas podem representar um desafi o devido à espessura de osso circundante que poderá impedir a captura do sinal de ultrassom. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a infl uência da espessura óssea na captura do sinal de eco dos vasos utilizando a ultrassonografi a. Hemimandíbulas maceradas suínas (n = 20) com espessuras ósseas diferentes foram adaptadas para receber tubos de borracha tipo CFlex ligados a um capilar de vidro, por onde água foi conduzida por meio de uma bomba para simular a vascularização sanguínea. A ultrassonografi a Doppler foi usada para avaliar o fl uxo de sangue na região do canal mandibular ao nível dos dentes molares. O teste t de Student foi utilizado para avaliar as diferenças entre as espessuras de osso das hemimandíbulas por meio de sinal negativo e sinal positivo do ultrassom. A reprodutibilidade e a confi abilidade foram confi rmadas para as análises. O sinal de fl uxo simulado foi capturado em ossos corticais com espessura na faixa de 0,2 a 1,0 mm (0.59 0.42 mm), mas não foi capturado a uma espessura superior a 1,0 mm (1.39 0.59 mm). Concluindo, a ultrassonografi a pode ser usada para investigar a vascularização intraóssea em áreas mandibulares com uma espessura óssea vestibular de até 1,0 mm.
ABSTRACT
Ultrasonography is useful to diagnose lesions, insofar as it detects the type of injury, and to assess the degree of vascularization of tumors. However, intraosseous lesions may represent a challenge, since the surrounding bone thickness could prevent ultrasound signal capture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the infl uence of surrounding bone thickness on the ability of ultrasonography in capturing the echo signal of blood vessels. Macerated porcine hemimandibles (n = 20) with different buccal bone thicknesses were prepared and adapted to receive CFlex-type rubber tubes connected to a glass capillary through which pump-driven water was conducted to simulate blood vasculature. Doppler ultrasonography was used to assess the blood fl ow in the region of the mandibular canal at the level of the molar teeth. Student’s t-test was used to assess differences between the bone thicknesses of hemimandibles with a negative and with a positive ultrasound signal. The presence of the echo signal in the simulated vasculature was assessed by ultrasonography. Reproducibility and reliability were confi rmed for the analyses. The simulated fl ow signal was captured in cortical bones with a thickness in the 0.2–1.0 mm range (0.59 ± 0.42 mm), but was not captured in those with a thickness greater than 1.0 mm (1.39 ± 0.59 mm). In conclusion, ultrasonography can be used to investigate intraosseous vascularization in mandibular areas with a buccal bone thickness up to 1.0 mm.
