Abstract:
Objective To explore an objective and precise method of measuring the angles of human ears.Methods Thirty cases (60 ears) were measured by CT.They were performed in position of Frankfort horizontal plane.Results Auriculo-cranial is 45±14 degrees,cephaloconchal is 83±13 degrees,scaphaconchal is 92±4 degrees,and they are symmetric on both sides.The differences of the angles between men and women are not obvious,except auriculo-cranial angle.Conclusion The measurement of human auricular angles with CT is a useful and practical method in anthropology and aesthetic medicine.
