Contributions of anatomy to forensic sex estimation: focus on head and neck bones

KEY POINTS: • Anatomy-based metric analyses can provide reliable accuracy in forensic sex estimation. • Glabellae inclination, external frontal bone surface, mandible, and canine teeth measurements can reach accuracies superior to 80% in sexual diagnosis. • The use of three-dimensional models and co...

Sumario:KEY POINTS: • Anatomy-based metric analyses can provide reliable accuracy in forensic sex estimation. • Glabellae inclination, external frontal bone surface, mandible, and canine teeth measurements can reach accuracies superior to 80% in sexual diagnosis. • The use of three-dimensional models and computed tomography images can enhance accuracy in sex estimation. • Every method should be validated before being applied to a different population.
