Linear measurements between the MF and RMF in anteroposterior and mediolateral directions. a Axial cut showing the red arrows pointing to the sagittal plane reference line, the green arrow to the MF, and the blue arrow to the lingula. (1) Line drawn from the middle of the RMF perpendicular to the sagittal plane reference line. (2) Line drawn from the middle of the MF perpendicular to the sagittal plane reference line. The linear measurement between the RMF and MF in anteroposterior direction is 15.4 mm. b Axial cut showing the red arrows pointing to the sagittal plane reference line. (1) Line drawn from the middle of the RMF parallel to the sagittal plane reference line. (2) Line drawn from the middle of the MF parallel to the sagittal plane reference line. The linear measurement between the RMF and MF in mediolateral direction is 3.79 mm
