Introduction:In these cases, the human mastoid process has also been utilized. Gender identification using the mastoid process is performed using both metric and non-metric methods. Gender identification is performed using manual techniques including Vernier caliper, xerographic copies, and CT images.Materials and Methods:The CT scans were not solely conducted for research purposes. Patients with damage or injury to the mastoid bone, children, expectant mothers, CT scans with abnormalities blocking the identifiable features of the mastoid bone were not included in the study.Results:Out of a total of 114 patients, 43 (37.7%) were male and 71 (62.2%) were female. The average age of patients was 52.9 years. The distribution of various diameters of the mastoid process on both the left and right side, categorized by gender. Males exhibited higher measurements in all dimensions, except for the anterior inclination angle, which was greater in females.Conclusion:By doing so, the likelihood of complications during the surgery can be decreased and the percentage of success will improve.
