The aim of the present work is to propose a computer assisted method, based on the fuzzy analysis, for the identification of sex of adult from radiographic cephalometry. After the identification on 41 digitized latero-lateral radiographic cephalometry of five anatomical repere (center of sella turcica, nasion, rhinion, point A, pterigo-maxillary fossa), distances and angles among such structures were calculated. The obtained data were used as input to prepare an expert system structured on the self-learning that, by fuzzy reasoning, implemented complex algorithms for sex identification. A 100% of correct sex determination was reached both on the cases studied and on the cases used as checking (out of the sample).

Abstract
The aim of the present work is to propose a computer assisted method, based on the fuzzy analysis, for the identification of sex of adult from radiographic cephalometry. After the identification on 41 digitized latero-lateral radiographic cephalometry of five anatomical repere (center of sella turcica, nasion, rhinion, point A, pterigo-maxillary fossa), distances and angles among such structures were calculated. The obtained data were used as input to prepare an expert system structured on the self-learning that, by fuzzy reasoning, implemented complex algorithms for sex identification. A 100% of correct sex determination was reached both on the cases studied and on the cases used as checking (out of the sample).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
