Also there is a negative between the age and the Lt length R =0.0038 ,also we found a positive correlation between the age and the width RT width R =0.036 (scatter plot 4-4) LT width R = 0.0103 (scatter plot 4-5 ).in the present study was found no different between males and females. Concluded that ceramal CT scan had value in chanactinztion of maxillary sinuses and sudaneses have different measurement from the other population
