Auricular dimensions in computed-tomography: Unveiling the relationship between ear dimensions, age, and sex using three-dimensional volume rendering reconstructions
In this study, we pioneered the use of CT volumetric data to examine human auricle morphology and we achieved a precise 3D (pre-) auricular assessment. Sex-specific positive correlations between ear dimensions and age, as well as the mean age for the appearance of preauricular lines, were identified, providing valuable insights into the capabilities of modern CT devices.
