    Journal: Forensic Sci Int; 2009 Jan 10; 183(1-3):104.e1-3. PubMed ID: 19081689.
    Abstract:
    The frontal sinus is an important tool of personal identification. To assess the forensic applications of the frontal sinus patterns in a Chinese Han population, 198 individuals were analyzed. 165 individuals who have the frontal sinus were observed in this population, and 12 parameters of the frontal sinus were observed according to Yoshino's method. The same combined code was found in three persons from our samples. The unilateral frontal sinus scalloped with one arcade has few parameters applied to personal identification, and shows the poorer discrimination power. These parameters showed better discrimination power in our population, and could be applied to personal identification.
