Supraorbital ridge contour by multi-slice helical CT:an anthropometric analysis / 中华医学美学美容杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the morphology of supraorbital ridge and toprovide basis for aesthetic surgery. Methods Forehead morphology was examined in 40 adults (20 men and 20 women). By multi-slice helical CT, a computer reconstruction technique was used to produce three dimensional images and 3-D reconstruction data were analyzed quantitatively. Results Ft,-Ft, V N, N-Op, Fb-Sr, Zm-So, Dbr, Pra-N in male were significantly larger than those in female, and V-N, N-Po, Fb-Sr, FA in youth men were significantly smaller than those in old men. Conclusion There is a difference of forehead between male and female. Projection of supraorbital ridge increases with age.
