Abstract

Sexual dimorphisms and age-dependent morphological features of the human coxal bone were quantitatively analyzed using homologous models created from three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography images of the pelvis (male: 514 samples, female: 388 samples, age 16-100). Bilateral average coxal images of each sex and age decade were generated separately through principle component analyses (PCA). By measuring average point-to-point distances of 8472 corresponding points (average corresponding point differences [ACPDs]) between each homologous coxal image and the average images, the sex of more than 93% of the samples was correctly assigned. Some principal components (PCs) detected in PCA of the homologous models of the samples correlated fairly well with age and are affected by features of the curvature of the iliac crest, the arcuate line and the greater sciatic notch. Moreover, separate PCA using the average images of each age decade successfully detected the first PCs, which were strongly correlated with age. However, neither multiple regression analysis using PCs related to age nor comparison of ACPDs with the average images of each age decade could produce accurate results for age decade assignment of unknown (blind) samples. Therefore, more detailed analysis of age-dependent morphological features would be necessary for actual age estimation. In addition, some laterality or left and right shape difference of the coxal bone images was also elucidated, and was more significant in females. Analysis of 3D structures using homologous models and PCA appears to be a potential technique to detect subsistent morphological changes of bones.

摘要

利用从骨盆的三维(3D)计算机断层扫描图像创建的同源模型,对人类髋骨的性别二态性和年龄依赖性形态特征进行了定量分析(男性:514例样本,女性:388例样本,年龄16 - 100岁)。通过主成分分析(PCA)分别生成了每个性别和年龄十年的双侧平均髋骨图像。通过测量每个同源髋骨图像与平均图像之间8472个对应点的平均点对点距离(平均对应点差异[ACPDs]),超过93%的样本的性别被正确判定。在样本同源模型的PCA中检测到的一些主成分(PCs)与年龄相关性相当好,并且受髂嵴、弓状线和坐骨大切迹曲率特征的影响。此外,使用每个年龄十年的平均图像进行单独的PCA成功检测到了与年龄强烈相关的第一主成分。然而,使用与年龄相关的主成分进行多元回归分析,或者将ACPDs与每个年龄十年的平均图像进行比较,都无法为未知(盲法)样本的年龄十年判定得出准确结果。因此,为了进行实际年龄估计,有必要对年龄依赖性形态特征进行更详细的分析。此外,还阐明了髋骨图像的一些左右侧性或左右形状差异,并且在女性中更为显著。使用同源模型和PCA对三维结构进行分析似乎是一种检测骨骼现存形态变化的潜在技术。
