Gender determination is the first step for biological identification. With the widespread use of machine learning algorithms (MLA) for diagnosis, the significance of applying them also in gender determination studies has become apparent. This study has therefore aimed at determining gender from the parameters obtained out of magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the cranio-cervical junction and cervical-spinal canal by using MLA. MRI of the craniocervical junction and cervical-spinal canal of 110 men and 110 women were included in this study. The 15 parameters were tested with Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Quadratic Discriminant Analysis (QDA) algorithms. Accuracy (Acc), Specificity (Spe), Sensitivity (Sen), F1 score (F1), Matthews-correlation coefficient (Mcc) values were used as performance criteria. The Acc, Spe, Sen, F1, and Mcc were found to be 1.00 in the LR, LDA, QDA and RF algorithms. The ratios of the Acc, Spe, Sen, and F1 were 0.98, and of the Mcc was 0.96 in the DT algorithm. It was found that the ratio between the SHAP analyzer of the RF algorithm and the belt of the ratio between the arch of the atlas and the anterior-posterior distance of the dens (R3) parameter had a higher contribution to the estimation of gender compared to other parameters. It was concluded that the LDA, QDA, LR, DT and RF algorithms applied to the parameters acquired from the MRI of the craniocervical junction and cervical-spinal canal, could determine the gender with very high accuracy.

Cinsiyet belirleme, biyolojik tanımlama için ilk adımdır. Makine öğrenmesi algoritmalarının (MLA) teşhis için yaygın olarak kullanılmasıyla birlikte, cinsiyet belirleme çalışmalarında da uygulanmasının önemi ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada, MLA kullanılarak kranio-servikal bileşke ve servikal-spinal kanalın manyetik rezonans görüntülerinden (MRG) elde edilen parametrelerden cinsiyetin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmaya 110 erkek ve 110 kadının kraniyoservikal bileşke ve servikal-spinal kanal MR görüntüleri dahil edildi. 15 parametre Karar Ağacı (DT), Rastgele Orman (RF), Lojistik Regresyon (LR), Doğrusal Diskriminant Analizi (LDA), Kuadratik Diskriminant Analizi (QDA) algoritmaları ile test edilmiştir. Performans kriterleri olarak Doğruluk (Acc), Özgüllük (Spe), Duyarlılık (Sen), F1 skoru (F1), Matthews-korelasyon katsayısı (Mcc) değerleri kullanılmıştır.
Sonuçlar: Acc, Spe, Sen, F1 ve Mcc değerleri LR, LDA, QDA ve RF algoritmalarında 1.00 olarak bulunmuştur. DT algoritmasında Acc, Spe, Sen ve F1 oranları 0.98, Mcc oranı ise 0.96 olarak bulunmuştur. RF algoritmasının SHAP analizörü ile atlasın kavisi ile densin ön-arka mesafesi arasındaki oranın kemeri (R3) parametresinin cinsiyet tahminine katkısının diğer parametrelere kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Kraniyoservikal bileşke ve servikal-spinal kanal MRG'sinden elde edilen parametrelere uygulanan LDA, QDA, LR, DT ve RF algoritmalarının cinsiyeti çok yüksek doğrulukla belirleyebildiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
