Estimation of sex from scapular measurements using chest CT in Egyptian Population sample

Conclusion: When both dimensions were used in estimation of sex, this gave an accuracy of 87% in male and 95% in female with overall accuracy 91% in the estimation of both male and female sexes. When one dimension only was used, the TL was better than the LL in determining the sex. Thus, the discriminant function equation could be used in the estimation of sex from these measures and the scapula can play an important role in the estimation of sex. In addition, an equation specific to Egyptian population has been developed.
