Morphometric variations of three sub-adult populations in Malaysia using multi-slice computed tomography data.

Background: This study aimed to determine the differences in cranial measurements in three sub-adult populations in Malaysia using multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) data.

Materials And Methods: A total of 521 cranial MSCT datasets of Malaysian sub-adults (0-20 years old) consisting of Malay, Chinese, and Indian populations were analysed and constructed into three-dimensional (3D) cranial models using Mimics software version 21. Fourteen selected craniometric parameters were measured on the 3D models, adhering to the plane-to-plane protocol.

Computed tomography study of cranial vault thickness in Malaysian subadult population.

Cranial vault thickness (CVT) and its variations provide valuable insights into an individual's biological attributes such as age and sex. This paper aimed to assess the correlations of CVT with age and sex and develop a regression model for age estimation in Malaysian subadults using computed tomography (CT) images. A total of 521 CT images (male/female: 279/242; age range: 0-20 years; Malay/Chinese/Indian: 221/145/155) were included in the study.

Sex estimation of Malaysian sub-adults using craniometrics: A computed tomography study.

Sex estimation is crucial in biological profiling of skeletal human remains. Methods used for sex estimation in adults are less effective for sub-adults due to varied cranium patterns during the growth period. Hence, this study aimed to develop a sex estimation model for Malaysian sub-adults using craniometric measurements obtained through multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT).
