cervical vertebrae, skeletal maturation, vertebral volume, CBCT segmentation
Brief summary
Correlation between cervical vertebrae volume with maturational stage through CBCT
Interventions
RADIATIONCBCT
CBCT Radiographs of Egyptian Female patients will be selected from the patients' database at the Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. The CBCT Radiographs data will be reconstructed using 3D imaging software (3D Slicer ). The body of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th vertebra will be cropped and other structures will be deleted. Each vertebra will be isolated using split mask tool, then 3D format of each vertebra will be obtained, and its 3D volume in mm³ will be recorded using 3D object properties. then evaluate the association between cervical vertebrae volume and maturation stages assessed using the CVM I
