A Cross Sectional Study on determination of Sex from Plain CT scan imaging of Maxillary sinus dimensions

Abstract

Introduction: It can be hard to figure out how to identify someone, but it's often very important in mistakes like car accidents, plane crashes, fires, and criminal investigations. A key part of forensic research is comparing unique features found on a dead body with information that was written about the person while they were alive. This can be achieved by analysing fingerprints, comparing DNA, using anthropological procedures, applying radiological technologies, and utilising other tactics that assist in identifying the age and sex of the subject. One way to find out a person's gender is to use sinus radiography. So, considering various dimensions of the maxillary sinus (MS) to figure out a person's gender using coronal view and the axial view of a plain computed tomography (CT) scan is being looked into. Objectives: To determine the sex of an individual from the analysis of Maxillary sinus dimensions.
