ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was performed to assess the reproducibility of identifying the sella turcica landmark in a threedimensional (3D) model by using a new sella-specific landmark reference system. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Thirty-two cone-beam computed tomographic scans (3D Accuitomo(R) 170, J. Morita, Kyoto, Japan) were retrospectively collected. The 3D data were exported into the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard and then imported into the Maxilim(R) software (Medicim NV, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium) to create 3D surface models. Five observers identified four osseous landmarks in order to create the reference frame and then identified two sella landmarks. The x, y, and z coordinates of each landmark were exported. The observations were repeated after four weeks. Statistical analysis was performed using the multiple paired t-test with Bonferroni correction (intraobserver precision p50% precision in locating the landmark within 1 mm.CONCLUSION:
A newly developed reference system offers high precision and reproducibility for sella turcica identification in a 3D model without being based on two-dimensional images derived from 3D data.
