Avaliação dos seios maxilares em tomografia computadorizada para identificação humana
The study of the paranasal sinuses is very useful in the identification of charred bodies and in cases of accidents, such as airplane crashes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of anthropometric indices of the maxillary sinuses, relating them to height, body mass, sex and age of the individuals involved in the research. A computed tomography (CT) of the maxilla from 90 patients of both sexes were taken. The weight, height, sex and age of each individual were collected at that same time.
