A new computer-tomography-based method of sex estimation: Development of Turkish population-specific standards.

Therefore, the sex estimation is one of the most important biological attributes towards establishing personal identity. In addition, several studies have demonstrated that metric sex determination methods of the skeleton are population-specific due to variation in size and patterns of sexual dimorphism.
