Abstract

Forensic anthropology has been one of the fastest growing medico-legal disciplines both in its contribution to the practical needs of the legal system and research accomplishments. Pubic, sacral body and sacral ala trabeculations were studied in 200 abdomino-pelvic CT from Kasr al Aini Radiology department period from 10/2014 till 10/2015. The examined group aged from 20- 60 years, they were classified into four age groups considering 10 years’ interval. There was a significant difference between the 4 age groups regarding these trabeculations. Moreover, significant correlations between age and trabeculations phases were found in all age groups.
