Abstract

Alterations in head posture significantly affect the MCA of the upper airway on CBCT. The NBC3 angle can be used to reliably assess changes in cranio-cervical extension and validate comparisons of MCA between CBCT scans for the same patient. A standardized protocol for CBCT acquisition is proposed.
