Age estimation based on pelvic ossification using regression models from conventional radiography.

To establish regression models for age estimation from the combination of the ossification of iliac crest and ischial tuberosity. One thousand three hundred and seventy-nine conventional pelvic radiographs at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University between January 2010 and June 2012 were evaluated retrospectively. The receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to measure the value of estimation of 18 years of age with the classification scheme for the iliac crest and ischial tuberosity.

Forensic age estimation through evaluation of the apophyseal ossification of the iliac crest in Western Chinese.

The criminal age estimation procedures have gained greatest significance to date, a reliable age diagnostics may depend on data of skeletal maturation from different socioeconomic status. In order to establish the iliac crest apophysis as a possible criterion for forensic age estimation in a different socioeconomic status, and to examine the pace of ossification for the iliac crest apophysis in Western Chinese, one thousand seven hundreds and seventy-seven conventional pelvic radiographs relating to West China Han group routinely taken between January 2010 and June 2012 have been sighted. The data was analysed with separation of the sexes.

Forensic Age Estimation Using Thin-Slice Multidetector CT of the Clavicular Epiphyses Among Adolescent Western Chinese.

Reaching the age of 18 years is the most significant step for criminal proceedings in China. In this study, a population of 752 individuals was recruited to clarify how strong the chronological age relates to clavicular ossification status revealed by CT scans with 1 mm slice thickness in the West China Han population. Finally, the epiphysis was observed to commence fusion in females at 16.

[Stature estimation for Sichuan Han nationality female based on X-ray technology with measurement of lumbar vertebrae].

Objective: To establish the mathematical models of stature estimation for Sichuan Han female with measurement of lumbar vertebrae by X-ray to provide essential data for forensic anthropology research.

Methods: The samples, 206 Sichuan Han females, were divided into three groups including group A, B and C according to the ages. Group A (206 samples) consisted of all ages, group B (116 samples) were 20-45 years old and 90 samples over 45 years old were group C.

[Skeletal age estimation by pelvic X-ray of Han teenagers in Sichuan].

Objective: To estimate the chronological age of Han teenagers in Sichuan by the epiphyses development characteristics of iliac crest and ischial tuberosity in X-ray digital images.

Methods: According to TW2 classification principle, combining with the age range of our subjects and epiphyses development regularity, the degree of epiphyses development of iliac crest and ischial tuberosity had been divided into 8 grades (0-7) and 7 grades (0-6), respectively. Based on the degrees, the pelvic X-rays digital images of 691 samples of 16-20 aged teenagers were read and statistically analyzed by SPSS 19.

[Skeletal age estimation of sternal end of clavicle in Sichuan Han nationality youth using thin-section computed tomography].

Objective: To explore the growth status of epiphysis of sternal end of clavicle using thin-section computed tomography (CT) and to study the relationship between the status and the chronological age of Sichuan Han nationality youth.

Methods: According to the Schmeling's report and the age range of our samples, the ossification status of medial clavicle epiphysis was classified as four stages. CT films of 565 patients between 15 and 25 years were studied based on the classification and analyzed statistically.
