Abstract:Background: Bones play a vital part in the process of individual identification in medico-legal cases, as they resist decomposition for a long period. The foramen magnum, which is located at the cranial base, is also a good parameter for identifications with reasonable accuracy. The surface area of the foramen magnum can be calculated using 3D reconstructed computer tomography of the head to assess the morphological differences in males and females, which is useful in forensic sciences.Objectives: To measure t… Show more
