Abstract
In human identification for forensic purposes the sex is one of the most important and first feature to be assessed in each case. It excludes 50% of individuals within the population. Furthermore, the estimation of biological age and stature depends on the correct determination of sex. The skull and the pelvis offer the best information on sexing. Sex determination is done either by assessing the morphological features or by osteometric measurements.
Metric methods use measurements and statistical analyses to objectively validate results. These methods remove observer bias of identifying the presence, absence, or prominence of characteristics that are utilized in morphological methods.
Computed Tomography is the imaging modality of choice for two- and three-dimensional documentation and analysis of many autopsy findings that can provide strong forensic evidence for use in legal proceedings.
The ability to construct a biological profile from virtual skeletons will help to solve many medicolegal problems.
Also, with a growing appreciation for the importance of population specific standards, medical scans and measurements on living individuals offer an appropriate and reliable source of contemporary population-specific data.
Orbital measurements are one of the craniofacial parameters that could be used in sexual and ethnic estimation in terms of anthropologic studies.
The present study aimed at establishing the accuracy and the reliability of the orbit in sex determination using three dimensional computed tomography (3D CT).
