This study introduces standardized landmarks and planes for 3-dimensional image orientation using cone-beam computed tomography. The proposed method ensures reliable and accurate 3D image alignment for clinical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Standardizing 3-dimensional (3D) image orientation is crucial for accurate analysis in various medical fields.
  • Existing methods may lack consistency, leading to potential inaccuracies in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose specific anatomical landmarks and reference planes for consistent 3D image orientation.
  • To establish a standardized protocol for orienting 3D imaging data.

Main Methods:

  • Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were acquired from 10 adolescent patients.
  • AMIRA software was utilized for the analysis and identification of key anatomical points.

Main Results:

  • Four critical points were identified: ELSA, right superior external auditory meatus, left superior external auditory meatus, and mid-dorsum foramen magnum.

  • The axial-horizontal (x-y) and sagittal-vertical (z-y) planes were defined using these landmarks, ensuring perpendicularity and standardization.

    • Conclusions:

    • The identified landmarks and planes demonstrated high intrareliability.
    • The proposed method is effective for standardizing the orientation of 3D images, improving consistency in radiological assessments.
