Measurement reliability and clinical translation of clival and foramen magnum morphometry in a Botswana CT cohort
• Critically questions the inter-observer reliability of key clival measurements used for sex estimation. • Calls for inclusion of area- and shape-based indices beyond simple linear foramen magnum diameters. • Emphasizes limitations of a hospital-based, older sample as a source of “normative” cranial base data.
