Determination of Sex from Morphometry of Sternum Using Multidetector Computed Tomography in Central Indian Population
This study thus concludes that sternal bone imaging is a valuable tool for sex determination. The seven parameters analyzed exhibit sexual dimorphism, with mesosternal length being the most accurate. These findings aid future sex determination in mass fatality incidents, explosions, or advanced decomposition. Importantly, this research provides specific data for the Indian population, addressing the need for diverse reference values.
