The visualised ET lengths (9.0\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.5\u00a0mm) of the CBCT group were significantly larger than those (6.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.3\u00a0mm) of the conventional CT group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.0001).Women showed longer visualised ET lengths than men in CBCT group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). The visualised ET lengths of the CBCT group were consistent or slightly increasing as a function of age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.06); however, the visualised ET lengths of the conventional CT group decreased as a function of age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001). The slopes of regression lines of the two groups were significantly different.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>When in the supine position, the ET lengths gradually shortened as the subjects got older, most likely due to venous engorgement and the collapse of surrounding tissues; this finding thus suggests that CT in a supine position is an inappropriate method to diagnose patulous ET. The visualised ET lengths by CBCT in a sitting position were consistent throughout the different ages of the subjects and may be used as a diagnostic test for patulous ET.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/coa.13342","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,20]],"date-time":"2019-04-20T12:04:31Z","timestamp":1555761871000},"page":"588-593","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Changes of visualised Eustachian tube lengths by age and position: Radiologic study in sitting and supine positions using cone beam and conventional CT"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Seung Cheol","family":"Ha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2010Head &amp;
