ANALYSES OF CORRELATION BETWEEN THE MEASURED VALUES OF THE FORAMEN OVALE OF DRY SKULLS AND THOSE OF THE ROENTGENOGRA- PHIC FILMS OF CORRESPONDING SPECIMENS / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Analyses of correlations between the measured values of the foramen ovale of dry skulls and those of roentgenographic skull base films of the corresponding specimens were carried out in 99 male adult skulls collected from the vicinity of Shanghai. The items in our studies included the length and width of the foramen ovale, the angle between the longitudinal diameter and the sagittal plane running through the intermaxillary suture, the distance from the foramen ovale to the foramen spinosum and that to the sagittal plane, and the distance from the foramen spinosum to the sagittal plane.Significant correlations(P
