Abstract
The physiological cross-section area (PCSA) of the masticatory muscles of an adolescent patient were determined based upon the clinical relevant computer tomography (CT) data. A procedure was developed by means of three-dimensional medical image analysis. The resultant PCSA values are in consistent with available knowledge in the literature.
