Abstract : Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of 3D CT in Forensic Radiology for gender estimation and toestimate the difference in curvature between male and female sacrum using volume rendering.  Methods: A total of 30 patients from known age (20-60) which include 17 males and 13 females these patients were taken from teerthanker mahaveer hospital and research center, all the patients reffered for CT L-S spine. All the patients fulfilling inclusion criteria for scan to be done 2D images were then converted in 3D data by using IRS technique, various measurements were done from MPR and 3D image.  Results: From all the studied measurements, were as L-S Angle , Anterior sacral Angle, Sacral Base Angle, height, width and curvature of the sacrum. In this study LSA and SBA was found higher in females than males, also it was found that curvature and width of sacrum was higher in females, ASA and height of sacrum found higher in males as compered to females.  Conclusion: After completion of study it was concluded that the prevalence of male case was higher than that of female cases according to the present study. In the persent study the various parameters of the sacral index were found to be significant assocated with respect to the gender.
