“…They also retrospectively assessed the ossification degree of the distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphyses using a different MRI sequence-T1-weighted turbo spin echo (T1-TSE) MRI sequence. They found a significant correlation (p < 0.001) between age and ossification in these areas; however, again, the method was reliable only for people 14-17 years of age [34].…”

Cartilage tissue performs many functions in the human body. The diseases and injuries affecting it are prevalent due to its slow regeneration rate. However, cartilage tissue is exceptionally important for its auspicious use in forensic medicine due to its slow postmortem degradation rate. The presented review summarizes the latest research on cartilage tissues and their current and potential applications in forensic science. It also describes the most important studies on using cartilage and its microscopic and macroscopic analyses to estimate the deceased age and determine postmortem interval (PMI) values and the crime weapon. Additionally, the review describes attempts to isolate DNA from cartilage tissue for individual identification. The review also mentions recent, less abundant studies on the cartilage in forensic toxicology and genetics. It points out further directions and prospects for research development on cartilage tissue and its promising use in forensic medicine

“… 52 53 54 Dedouit classification and Saint-Martin classification have been used for most of the MRI-based bone age estimation where either ossification of radial and ulnar distal epiphysis or proximal humeral epiphysis was studied to determine the age of majority. 55 56 MRI knee joint has also been studied to evaluate the ossification center at distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphyses, either separately or in combination. These studies were based on either Dedouit or Schmeling–Kellinghaus classification systems.…”

Skeletal radiographs along with dental examination are frequently used for age estimation in medicolegal cases where documentary evidence pertaining to age is not available. Wrist and hand radiographs are the most common skeletal radiograph considered for age estimation. Other parts imaged are elbow, shoulder, knee, and hip according to suspected age categories. Age estimation by wrist radiographs is usually done by the Tanner-Whitehouse method where the maturity level of each bone is categorized into stages and a final total score is calculated that is then transformed into the bone age. Careful assessment and interpretation at multiple joints are needed to minimize the error and categorize into age-group. In this article, we aimed to summarize a suitable radiographic examination and interpretation for bone age estimation in living children, adolescents, young adults, and adults for medicolegal purposes.

“…At present, resting-state functional MRI has been used in the research of PD pathology and has shown certain effects. MRI can locate in multiple directions and has high resolution for soft tissues, so that it is widely used for the diagnosis of many diseases clinically [ 11 , 12 ]. MRI would lead to fewer complications in stereotactic surgery, with less loss and a relatively simpler method [ 13 , 14 ].…”

This research aimed to study the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under three-dimensional mark point positioning algorithm in stereotactic surgery for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and improve clinical treatment effect. Eighty patients with PD in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were selected as the research objects and randomly divided into two groups. The three-dimensional mark point positioning algorithm was applied to perform feature positioning on the MRI images of PD patients, and the international unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale (UPDRS) was assessed before and after single-target surgery of the two groups. There was a significant difference in the postoperative treatment effect between the two groups compared with the preoperative one ( P < 0.05 ). Among the patients in the observation group, 37 cases were marked as markedly effective, accounting for 92.5% of the total group; 1 case was ineffective and 2 cases were improved, accounting for 2.5% and 5%, respectively. In the control group, 35, 2, and 3 cases were assessed as markedly effective, ineffective, and improved, accounting for 87.5%, 5%, and 7.5%, respectively. The overall curative effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was significant ( P < 0.05 ). The MRI manifestations of PD patients were diversified. MRI under the three-dimensional mark point positioning algorithm had a high value for the stereotactic treatment of PD patients, which was beneficial to the clinical surgery.
