RADIOLOGICAL STUDY OF MEASUREMENT OF THE SKULL TABLE THICKNESS BY USING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN IMAGES OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS: A CROSS- SECTIONAL STUDY

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury is one of the leading causes of death in adults.Accidental trauma and criminal acts account for about 25% and 10% of such head injuries respectively.A human biological system has evolved to protect and safeguard every organ and structure.The strength, consolidation, and solidarity of bone tissue are based on diversified factors like age, gender, nutritional status, genetic factors, lifestyle factors, etc. Barin is one such vital organ protected by compact skull bone covering all over it; hence various layers of skull bone thickness are a matter of anatomical concern to protect the brain in any crucial circumstances. Methodology:The radiological study involving the 121 CT scan images of the skull of both males and females of age groups ranging from 18 to 80 years was used to study various layers of the calvarial thickness.The statistical analysis of various skull bone landmark point thicknesses of different ages and genders (male and female) was analysed by using independent samples t-tests. Results:The outcome indicates no significant changes neither in the cranial outer table nor in the inner table, but changes were observed only with respect to the diploe of frontal bone statically coinciding
