The technology is based on visualization and analysis of scattering patterns of low-intensity radiation as it passes through the maxillary sinuses. The article presents the experimental data obtained using the digital diaphanoscopy method and the results of numerical simulation of the optical radiation passage through the study area. The experimental setup has been modernized through the installation of a a device for controlling the LED applicator brightness. The approach proposed may have considerable promise for creating diagnostic criteria for various pathological changes and can be used to assess the differences in the optical and anatomical features of males and females.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics11010077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]],"date-time":"2021-01-06T09:15:16Z","timestamp":1609924516000},"page":"77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Optical Diagnostics of the Maxillary Sinuses by Digital Diaphanoscopy Technology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2950-4443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ekaterina O.","family":"Bryanskaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"R&amp;D Center of Biomedical Photonics, Orel State University, Orel 302026, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irina N.","family":"Novikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"R&amp;D Center of Biomedical Photonics, Orel State University, Orel 302026, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6974-3505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viktor V.","family":"Dremin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"R&amp;D Center of Biomedical Photonics, Orel State University, Orel 302026, Russia"},{"name":"College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham B4 7ET, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roman Yu.","family":"Gneushev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"R&amp;D Center of Biomedical Photonics, Orel State University, Orel 302026, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olga A.","family":"Bibikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Art Photonics GmbH, 12489 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4431-6288","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrey V.","family":"Dunaev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"R&amp;D Center of Biomedical Photonics, Orel State University, Orel 302026, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viacheslav G.","family":"Artyushenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Art Photonics GmbH, 12489 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Battisti, A.S., and Pangia, J.
