Sex determination is considered the first and most important process in the identification of unknown\nskeletal remains. The skull is one of bones with high accuracy to discriminate sexes, but there is no dimorphic\nstudies of Korean skull by discriminant function analysis. The aim of this study was to build and provide an easy\nand accurate discriminant equation to sex determination by using three-dimensional skull images of Korean.\nComputed tomography images from 102 cadavers were reconstructed three-dimensional images by computer\nprogram. We measured 44 variables using the template in computer program and variables were sorted out items\nwith high accuracy and reliability by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Cohen’s d value, and receiver\noperating characteristic (ROC) curve.\nThe equation with the highest accuracy had 82.7% in males, 82.2% in females, it was constituted bizygomatic\ndiameter, cranial base length, biauricular breadth, upper facial breadth, frontal chord, foramen magnum breadth,\nand right mastoid length.\nThe cross-validated accuracy had 76.5%~86.7% using 3D skull images in Koreans. The value of variables\nthat matches the other population group study, most of variables had a statistically significant difference among\npopulation groups. Male skulls in Koreans were smaller than those in European and female skulls were bigger\nthan in Asian. This result should be helpful to determine sex in Koreans
