从骨骼中确定性别和估计身高对于法医学调查至关重要。在本研究中，尝试使用印度中部人群的前侧位头影数据来确定性别并估计个体的身高。头骨由硬组织组成，是死后骨骼中保存最完好的部分，因此，在许多情况下，它是法医检查的唯一可用部分。头颅侧位片非常适合颅骨检查，因为它可以在单张 X 光照片中提供各个解剖点的详细信息，还可以轻松提供颅骨上部结构的结构和形态细节以及颅内细节以进行比较。从 10 个头影测量变量导出的判别函数在性别确定方面提供了 99% 的可靠性。使用最大头骨长度进行回归分析得出的公式对于估计男性和女性的身高显示出非常高的可靠性。 (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Determination of sex and estimation of stature from the skeleton is vital to medicolegal investigations. In the present study, an attempt is made to determine sex and estimate stature of an individual using data derived front lateral cephalogram in Central Indian population. Skull is composed of hard tissue and is the best preserved part of skeleton after death, hence, in many cases it is the only available part for forensic examination. Lateral cephalogram is ideal for the skull examination as it gives details of various anatomical points in a single radiograph, also it easily provides architectural and morphological details of skull superstructures and intra-cranial details for comparisons. A discriminant function derived from 10 cephalometric variables provided 99% reliability in sex determination. The formulae obtained from regression analysis using the maximum length of skull showed very high degree of reliability for estimation of stature in males as well as females.
