The age estimation of the hand bones by means X-ray examination is a pillar forensic estimation. Since associated radiation exposure controversial, search for ionizing radiation-free alternatives such as MRI part research. aim current study was to use Greulich-Pyle (GP) atlas on MR images and wrist provide reference values assessing bones. 3T 238 male participants between ages 13 21 were acquired using 3D gradient echo sequences (VIBE, DESS). Two readers rated X-ray-based GP method. A...
Increasing cross-border migration has brought forensic age assessment into focus in recent decades. Forensic estimation is based on the three pillars: physical and medical constitution, bone age, tooth age. Part of examination includes medial end clavicles when hand bones are already fully developed a minority must be excluded. Recent research MRI to forefront as radiation-free alternative for assessment. However, there exits only few studies with large sample size regarding controversies...
Abstract Radiology-based estimation of a living person’s unknown age has recently attracted increasing attention due to large numbers undocumented immigrants entering Europe. To avoid the application X-ray-based imaging techniques, magnetic resonance (MRI) been suggested as an alternative modality. Unfortunately, MRI requires prolonged acquisition times, which potentially represents additional stressor for young refugees. eliminate this shortcoming, we investigated degree reduction in time...
In clinical forensic medicine, the estimation of age injuries such as externally visible subcutaneous hematomas is important for reconstruction violent events, particularly to include or exclude potential suspects. Since time origin based on external inspection unreliable, aim this study was use contrast in MRI develop an easy‐to‐use model hematoma estimation. a longitudinal study, artificially created were repetitively imaged using over period two weeks. The hemorrhages by injecting...
Abstract Objectives This feasibility study aimed to investigate the reliability of multi-factorial age estimation based on MR data hand, wisdom teeth and clavicles with reduced acquisition time. Methods The raw 34 volunteers—acquired a 3T system using times ( T A ) 3:46 min (hand), 5:29 (clavicles) 10:46 (teeth)—were retrospectively undersampled applying commercially available CAIPIRINHA technique. Automatic radiological methods were applied original image as well estimates decreasing...
Developments in post-mortem imaging increasingly focus on addressing recognised diagnostic weaknesses, especially with regard to suspected natural deaths. Post-mortem MR angiography (PMMRA) may offer additional information help address such specifically the context of sudden cardiac death. Complete filling coronary arteries and acceptable contrast surrounding tissue are essential for a successful approach PMMRA. In this work, suitability different liquids inclusion targeted PMMRA protocol...
As the implementation of minimally invasive imaging techniques in both forensic and pathological practice increases, research this area focuses on addressing recognised diagnostic weaknesses current approaches. Assessment sudden cardiac death (SCD) can be considered one such which post-mortem still shows weaknesses. We hypothesise that magnetic resonance (MRI) with an angiographic adjunct may improve visualisation interpretation pathologies a setting. To systematically investigate...
BACKGROUND MR spectroscopy is widely used for fat fraction quantification of human lumbar vertebrae. However, the measurements need to be corrected relaxation effects. PURPOSE The aim this study was determine reproducibility relaxometry in vertebrae required correction using magnetic resonance at 3 Tesla. Such information provides error estimates and guidance regarding reliability future studies. STUDY TYPE Prospective. SUBJECTS Forty‐six healthy volunteers (22 female [f], 24 male [m])...
