Craniometry
Definition:
(n.) The art or act of measuring skulls.
Example Sentences:
(1) In order to appreciate the normality of the head he described four diameters of the skull and has been considered by Topinard as the father of craniometry.
(2) There developed Medical Antropology and Dental Anthropology, employing osteometry and craniometry on the skeleton, somatometry and cephalometry on the living body.
(3) Due to the fact that in present-day traditional craniometry one does not take into account the relative position of all the measured diameters or cords, one happens to construct, through a set of measures made on a given skull, an abstract multiform representation which has more than one million possible variants.
(4) The race and sex of the human skull can be determined by craniometry.
(5) Roentgenological craniometry is closely related to craniometry of anatomists and anthropologists, but in a few essential points it does differ from it--rather fundamentally, in fact.
(6) X-ray craniometry has gained in importance for scientific and clinical examination.
(7) In the present instance, this method overcomes the conceptual and methodologic constraints of both craniometry and roentgenographic cephalometry by providing two-dimensional, reference-frame-invariant, independent comparisons of the size, shape, and location of the point continua enclosed within the boundaries for each local, finite element into which the mandible was discretized.
(8) In this case osseous hypoplasia of the posterior fossa was excluded by craniometry, so the upward displacement must have been due to hypoplasia of the tentorium cerebelli and its low attachment to the occiput, bringingg about a narrowing of the infratentorial space.
