種族是否影響兒童持續音素發音時軟顎裂隙結構大小及軟顎伸展？

// Does Race Influence Velopharyngeal Structure Size and Velar Stretch During Sustained Phoneme Production in Children?

本研究利用核磁共振成像（MRI）比較黑人與白人兒童的軟腭解剖結構及發音時的軟腭伸展｜結果顯示黑人兒童的有效軟腭較長且較厚，軟腭伸展需求較白人兒童低｜強調臨床評估軟腭功能需依種族提供專屬參考數據，以避免診斷誤差。

// This study examined racial differences in velopharyngeal anatomy and velar stretch during sustained phoneme production in Black and White children using MRI. Black children showed significantly longer and thicker effective velums and required less velar stretch than White children. The findings highlight the need for race-specific reference data to accurately assess velopharyngeal function in clinical settings. Without such data, diagnoses may be inaccurate across racial groups.
