Stature estimation in Japanese cadavers based on the second cervical vertebra measured using multidetector computed tomography

Stature estimation in Japanese cadavers based on the second cervical vertebra measured using multidetector computed tomography

Highlights • We assessed the correlation between stature and lengths of second cervical vertebra. • All measured lengths were positively correlated with stature. • We derived modern regression formulae for estimating stature in a Japanese population. • Multiple regression equations were more accurat...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We assessed the correlation between stature and lengths of second cervical vertebra. • All measured lengths were positively correlated with stature. • We derived modern regression formulae for estimating stature in a Japanese population. • Multiple regression equations were more accurate than the single regression ones.
