Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, skapulanın seksüel dimorfizmini değerlendirmek ve toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleme yöntemi ile yapılan ölçüm sonuçlarının, modern Anadolu popülasyonunda cinsiyet tayini için doğruluğunu ölçmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı’nda Şubat 2019 ve Nisan 2019 tarihleri arasında çekilmiş olan, 20-93 yaşları arasında, 302 vakanın (164 erkek,138 kadın) Multidedektör BT görüntüleri kullanıldı. Sağ ve sol taraf skapulaların longitudinal uzunlukları (LU), transvers uzunlukları (TU) ve spina skapula uzunlukları (SSU) ölçüldü ve değerlendirildi. Ölçümlerin cinsiyeti belirlemedeki etkisi Lojistik Regresyon analizi ile saptandı.
Bulgular: Erkeklerde skapula ölçümlerinin kadınlara göre daha yüksek olduğu görüldü (p<0.001). Kadınlarda sağ ve sol skapula transvers uzunlukları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanırken, erkeklerde her 3 ölçüm için de istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptandı. Ölçümler cinsiyet belirleme için kullanıldığında skapula longitudinal, transvers ve spina skapula uzunlukları birbirinden bağımsız olarak, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu. Buna göre en yüksek doğruluk oranını sağ skapula longitudinal uzunluğunun verdiği görüldü.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma Anadolu toplumunda skapula kemiğinin cinsiyet tahmininde önemli bir kemik olduğunu göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla adli tıpta ve adli antropolojide kafatası, uzun kemikler ve pelvis kemiği bulunamadığı takdirde diğer cinsiyet tahmini metotlarıyla veya tek başına kullanılabilir.
