Abstract
The computer-aided analysis enables us to handle huge volumes of data that could not otherwise be analyzed within a reasonable time frame. The implemented algorithm ensured a strongly reproducible, reliable, accurate, and fast differentiation between closed and open sutures. The evaluation of various statistical parameters suggests that there is no reason to assume a correlation between age and suture closure-with equal findings for both sexes. Therefore, we conclude that determination of aad based on the evaluation of sagittal suture obliteration is not possible. This agrees well - thus unsatisfactorily - with the recent literature.
