Abstract
The sexual dimorphism of the mastoid process, as demonstrated by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), is not well examined in forensic anthropology or clinical diagnostics. The mastoid region can be precisely imaged in three dimensions using CBCT, which reveals minute anatomical variations between males and females. These characteristics can help forensic professionals identify the sex of unidentified human remains, helping to solve crimes and aid in the search for missing persons. Moreover, recognising sexual dimorphism in the mastoid process in clinical settings can help with precise patient identification and individualised medical treatments, highlighting the important function of CBCT in both the forensic and medical areas.
期刊介绍：
El European Journal of Anatomy es continuación de la revista “Anales de Anatomía”, publicada en español desde 1952 a 1993. Tras unos años de interrupción debido fundamentalmente a problemas económicos para su mantenimiento, la Sociedad Anatómica Española quiso dar un nuevo impulso a dicha publicación, por lo que fue sustituido su título por el actual, además de ser publicada íntegramente en inglés para procurar así una mayor difusión fuera de nuestras fronteras. Este nuevo periodo se inició en 1996 completándose el primer volumen durante el año 1997.
