Abstract

Objective: To clarify the differences in assessing the course of the lingual artery between lingual artery computed tomography angiography (CTA) and ultrasound (US). Methods: Twenty-six OSA patients were included in this study and accomplished lingual artery CTA and US, respectively. The differences in the depths of the lingual arteries and the distances between the bilateral lingual arteries on 3 measurement levels based on lingual artery CTA and US were compared. Results: The depths of the lingual arteries on 3 measurement levels by CTA were deeper than those by US ( P < .01). There was no significant difference in the distances between bilateral lingual arteries on 3 measurement levels between CTA and US ( P > .05). Conclusions: The parameters of lingual artery measured by lingual artery US were similar to or smaller than those measured by lingual artery CTA. Like lingual artery CTA, lingual artery US could be used as an effective method to ensure the safety of the operation.
