摘要
This study compared the accuracy of measurements of the skull base made using computed tomography (CT) images and an image-guided surgery system with those made using scientific callipers in order to evaluate the practicability of replacing conventional direct anatomical measurements with digitized techniques in skull base surgery. Important bony landmarks and parameters were measured using the three different methods in 25 cadaver skull bases. No statistically significant differences were observed between the methods. Coefficient of variation calculations indicated that data obtained from CT images was the most stable. Digital methods of navigation have the potential to reflect individual skull base anatomical features more accurately than traditional group-based data, but it is important to assess their accuracy. This study demonstrated that CT imageology and image-guided surgery systems can provide accurate anatomical measurements. Digital methods are also more flexible and less variable, and may have wide applications in this field. Though not perfect, digital imaging is a promising tool for skull base surgery.
