  • Figure 1. A rendered CBCT image of a patient’s skull illustrating the left ramus when examined in a true lateral view (A) it showed straight posterior border having no flexure, but after the image was rotated to the right around the vertical axis (B) the ramus clearly exposed a definite flexure at it’s posterior border
  • Figure 2. Showing 3D rendered CBCT images of three patients’ skulls, illustrating in (A-top) flexed left and right rami marked by a blue curve (right ramus), a tangent along the ramus posterior border (left ramus), and the occlusal plane marked by a red line. (B-middle) illustrating flexed left and right rami at points higher than the occlusal plane. (C-bottom) illustrating flexed left and right rami at the same level of the occlusal plane
  • Figure 3. Distribution of predicted sex (%) indicated by ramus shape
  • Figure 4. Number and gender of the initially employed subjects, those whose sex correctly predicted, and subject of misdiagnosed gender. Different alphabets denote statistically significant differences (p<0.001)
