Evaluation of the frontal sinuses dimensions in sex estimation among a sample of adult Kashmiri population using multidetector computed tomography
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Aim of the present study is to determine gender using morphometric measurements on the frontal sinuses MDCT scanMaterials and Methods The study included 100 subjects 50 males and 50 females For each participant frontal sinus dimensions were measured for both sides using MDCT on commercially available softwareResults The mean lengths of Right width Left width Left depth and Left height were significantly larger in males than in females There was no significant difference in measurements of both sides in either males or femalesConclusion Some parameters in frontal sinuses were significantly larger in males and these can be used in forensic for determination of gender Sample size was small so study with larger sample size is advised in futureKeywords Frontal sinus Morphometric analysis Sex Computed tomography MDCT CT
