Accuracy of three age determination X-ray methods on the left hand-wrist: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Combining dental and skeletal evidence in age classification: Pilot study in a sample of Italian sub-adults

“…Consistently with previous researches [10,[50][51][52][53], GP showed the highest false positive rate among all methods for both genders (27% for males and 31% for females). In agreement with Serinelli et al [52], TW3 resulted to be more accurate than GP yielding a false positive rate of 17.6% for male and 21.9% for female individuals. Among all methods applied here TW3 resulted the most accurate for male individuals (83.5%), whilst all methods produced very similar accuracy (~77%) for females.…”

Age Estimation from Radiographic Images of the Knee

“…Currently, age estimation utilizing radiographs of the left-hand wrist and medial clavicles are recommended for use in forensic age estimation of the living (14,15). As a result, age estimation from analysis of the development of these two areas has come under increasing scrutiny (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25). Presently in the United Kingdom, there is an understandable reluctance to undertake radiographic imaging with the sole purpose of estimating age.…”

Age estimation in a sub-adult Western Australian population based on the analysis of the pelvic girdle and proximal femur

“…A radiograph of the hand-wrist can be analysed and compared to one of the many atlases available to derive an age estimate (Greulich and Pyle 1959;Tanner et al 2001). Age estimation using hand-wrist assessment is more commonly applied to situations involving identification in the living (Hackman et al 2010;Serinelli et al 2011). Along with the Greulich and Pyle (1959) method, the Tanner-Whitehouse (1975) approach is commonly used in clinical situations and with partially or complete cadavers (Lewis and Flavel 2007).…”
