“…The CT scans were done helically (High-Speed Advantage; General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, Wis) during slow inspiration or expiration using a 3-or a 5-mm-section thickness and a helical pitch of 1.0 or 1.3. [23][24][25] The CT scans were processed using a surface-rendering technique (virtual endoscopy) that sculpts away all soft tissues of the neck and produces a 3-dimensional model of the airway contour. 26 Data were displayed on a specialized computer workstation (Indigo 2 Maximum Impact; Silicon Graphics, Mountain View, Calif) capable of interactive manipulation and "fly-through visualization" (ie, simulated endoscopy) of the 3-dimensional models.…”

“…In spite of these advantages, mentioned above, helical CT has not been widely employed in the field of head and neck surgery. Little has been reported on the 3-D reconstruction of the larynx by helical CT including not only the cartilage but also the soft tissues [10][11][12][13]. In particular, the clinical utility of helical CT for laryngeal cancer has not been evaluated adequately.…”

“…Para a segmentação da via aérea superior, geralmente o valor mais baixo do intervalo que define o ar é estabelecido em -1.000HU, ou valores muito próximos, de acordo com as especificações do programa (34) . Por outro lado, o limite superior do intervalo ainda está aberto ao debate (27,34,37,38) . De fato, o intervalo ideal para segmentação das vias aéreas pode variar de acordo com diferentes protocolos de tomografias computadorizadas, região das vias aéreas e anatomia específica do paciente (34,35) .…”

“…Em 1999, Kawarai et al (37) , (38) , relatam que o limite superior ideal para segmentação do ar está entre -300HU e -500HU, enquanto para A distância entre a fronteira ar-tecido dos modelos reconstruídos com limites superiores de -800HU e -300HU foi de apenas um ou dois pixels, Figura 21. A importância da variação da área de seção transversal para a resistência nasal é demonstrada pela Lei de Poiseuille, a qual prediz que a vazão é proporcional à quarta potência do diâmetro do tubo para um escoamento laminar com diferença de pressão constante (109).…”
