Statistical model estimating the occurrence of otitis media from temporal bone pneumatization
Udgivelsesdato: 1994-Jun In order to investigate the relationship between the pneumatization of temporal bones and the occurrence of otitis media in Greenlandic Inuit, 36 Greenlandic Inuit were examined by radiography of the temporal bones. The pneumatized cell area was measured planimetrically. All...
