2025年3月14日 · The hyoid bone is a midline "U or horseshoe-shaped" bone that serves as a structural anchor in the mid-neck. It is the only bone in the human body that does not directly articulate with another bone (other than sesamoids). It is a place of convergence of multiple small neck muscles that permit the pharyngeal phase of swallowing.

Direct linear and volumetric measurements of skeletonized hyoid bone specimens were compared to corresponding CT images to determine the most accurate scanning parameters and three-dimensional rendering techniques. A pilot study was undertaken using in vivo scans from a retrospective CT database to determine feasibility of quantifying hyoid ...

2024年12月13日 · Our study aims to determine the position and types of the hyoid bone and to evaluate the morphometry of the hyoid bone and tongue according to sex. Our study included cervical Computed Tomography (CT) images of 200 individuals (100 females, 100 males) between the ages of 18 and 84.

2023年6月18日 · We aimed to explore the position, morphological, and morphometric properties of the hyoid bone (HB) and to investigate the effect of HB on the pharyngeal airway (PA) volume and cephalometric measurements. A total of 305 patients with …

2021年10月20日 · Micro-CT can adequately display the internal structure of the hyoid bone. The identified bone structure may help clarify the physiological function of the hyoid bone. The present findings provide a theoretical basis for further studies aimed at pathological changes due to hyoid injury in clinical and forensic medicine.

2014年6月5日 · Direct linear and volumetric measurements of skeletonized hyoid bone specimens were compared with corresponding CT images to determine the most accurate scanning parameters and three-dimensional rendering techniques.

2009年6月24日 · Our purpose is to present the clinical and imaging features of ORN involving the hyoid bone. We present a case series of 13 patients with imaging findings highly suggestive of hyoid ORN after radiation therapy for head and neck cancers, in which we observed progressive features of hyoid disruption along with adjacent soft-tissue ulceration.

Cross-sectional imaging either with a computer tomography scan (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a detailed evaluation of the head and neck in a neutral position. Many times, these scans have been performed in MPS patients for their co-morbidities.

The hyoid bone anchors and supports the vocal tract. Its complex shape is best studied in three dimensions, but it is difficult to capture on computed tomography (CT) images and three-dimensional volume renderings. The goal of this study was to determine the optimal CT scanning and rendering paramet …

There are many studies that corelate changes in hyoid bone morphometrics with the sex and age differences. These are measured using different techniques, including direct cadaveric measurements, X-ray images, and computed tomography (CT) scans.
