Özet
Objective: The aim of this study is to estimate gender using parameters obtained from the sphenoid sinus in computed tomography (CT) images, utilizing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Method: In this study, length, width, and volume measurements of the sphenoid sinus were evaluated from CT images of 300 individuals (150 males and 150 females) aged 18-65 years. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis, Logistic Regression (k-NN) algorithms, and ANN model were used for gender prediction. Results: The length, width, and volume of the sphenoid sinus on both the left and right sides were found to be significantly higher in males compared to females (p < 0.05). The performance values of the ML algorithms were found as follows: LDA 0.82; k-NN 0.80; LR 0.84; GaussianNB 0.80; DT 0.82; and ANN 0.82. Conclusions: Morphometric measurements of the sphenoid sinus, when analyzed with the LDA, LR, DT, and ANN algorithms, showed high accuracy and provided reliable data for sex estimation.
