Development and validation of a formula based on maxillary sinus measurements as a tool for sex estimation: a cone beam computed tomography study.

abstract：PURPOSE:We investigated the incidence and distribution of post-mortem gas detected with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) to identify factors that could distinguish artifactual gas from cardiac air embolism. MATERIAL AND METHODS:MDCT data of 119 cadavers were retrospectively examined. Gas was semiquantitatively...
