Changes in thoracic form morphology in healthy young adults to middle-aged people at numerous thoracic vertebral levels

Introduction- The Haller index is a thoracic breadth to height ratio. This was previously only at one unknown vertebral level in the thorax. Method- A total of 108 patients were enrolled. Measurements were taken in the axial plane picture at each vertebral level, beginning with T3 and ending with T12. The internal radiographic transverse and minimum anteroposterior diameters were measured using a CT machine and a GE PACS. Both diameters are measured so that they cross each other at a straight angle. Result: - 108 HRCT pictures were evaluated in total. The research included 73 males and 35 females. Patients range in age from 20 to 45 years. The male group's mean age was 38.89 years, with a standard deviation of ±6.11 years. The female group's mean age was 38.83 years, with a standard deviation of ±8.47 years. The overall mean (male + female) Haller index was 2.46 with a standard deviation of ±0.62. Males had a mean Haller index of 2.42 with a standard deviation of ±0.58. Females had to have a mean Haller index of 2.55 with a standard deviation of ±0.66.
