Abstract
Studies addressing the anatomical values of the supraspinatus outlet area (SOA) and the available supraspinatus outlet area (ASOA) are insufficient. This study focused on precisely measuring the SOA and ASOA values in a sample from the Chinese population using 3D CT (computed tomography) reconstruction. We analyzed CT imaging of 96 normal patients (59 males and 37 females) who underwent shoulder examinations in a hospital between 2011 and 2021. The SOA, ASOA, acromiohumeral distance (AHD), coracohumeral distance (CHD), coracoacromial arch radius (CAR), and humeral head radius (HHR) were estimated, and statistical correlation analyses were performed. There were significant sex differences observed in SOA (men: 957.62 ± 158.66 mm2; women: 735.87 ± 95.86 mm2) and ASOA (men: 661.35 ± 104.88 mm2; women: 511.49 ± 69.26 mm2), CHD (men: 11.22 ± 2.24 mm; women: 9.23 ± 1.35 mm), CAR (men: 37.18 ± 2.70 mm; women: 33.04 ± 3.15 mm), and HHR (men: 22.65 ± 1.44 mm; women: 20.53 ± 0.95 mm). Additionally, both SOA and ASOA showed positive and linear correlations with AHD, CHD, CAR, and HHR (R: 0.304-0.494, all p < 0.05). This study provides physiologic reference values of SOA and ASOA in the Chinese population, highlighting the sex differences and the correlations with shoulder anatomical parameters.

期刊介绍:
TomographyTM publishes basic (technical and pre-clinical) and clinical scientific articles which involve the advancement of imaging technologies. Tomography encompasses studies that use single or multiple imaging modalities including for example CT, US, PET, SPECT, MR and hyperpolarization technologies, as well as optical modalities (i.e. bioluminescence, photoacoustic, endomicroscopy, fiber optic imaging and optical computed tomography) in basic sciences, engineering, preclinical and clinical medicine.
Tomography also welcomes studies involving exploration and refinement of contrast mechanisms and image-derived metrics within and across modalities toward the development of novel imaging probes for image-based feedback and intervention. The use of imaging in biology and medicine provides unparalleled opportunities to noninvasively interrogate tissues to obtain real-time dynamic and quantitative information required for diagnosis and response to interventions and to follow evolving pathological conditions. As multi-modal studies and the complexities of imaging technologies themselves are ever increasing to provide advanced information to scientists and clinicians.
Tomography provides a unique publication venue allowing investigators the opportunity to more precisely communicate integrated findings related to the diverse and heterogeneous features associated with underlying anatomical, physiological, functional, metabolic and molecular genetic activities of normal and diseased tissue. Thus Tomography publishes peer-reviewed articles which involve the broad use of imaging of any tissue and disease type including both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition, hardware/software along with chemical and molecular probe advances are welcome as they are deemed to significantly contribute towards the long-term goal of improving the overall impact of imaging on scientific and clinical discovery.
