“…Ultrasonography showed a good correlation with the Greulich and Pyle method in the first 6 years of life, but unfortunately there has been no study with older children and young adults [17]. When focusing only on the distal epiphyses of the radius and ulna, ultrasonography and radiography gave similar correlations between bone and chronological age [18].…”

Virtual anthropology: useful radiological tools for age assessment in clinical forensic medicine and thanatology

Virtual anthropology consists of the introduction of modern slice imaging to biological and forensic anthropology. Thanks to this non-invasive scientific revolution, some classifications and staging systems, first based on dry bone analysis, can be applied to cadavers with no need for specific preparation, as well as to living persons. Estimation of bone and dental age is one of the possibilities offered by radiology. Biological age can be estimated in clinical forensic medicine as well as in living persons. Virtual anthropology may also help the forensic pathologist to estimate a deceased person's age at death, which together with sex, geographical origin and stature, is one of the important features determining a biological profile used in reconstructive identification. For this forensic purpose, the radiological tools used are multislice computed tomography and, more recently, X-ray free imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound investigations. We present and discuss the value of these investigations for age estimation in anthropology.

“…The sonography-based techniques such as the ultrasonographic version of the Greulich and Pyle atlas demonstrated by Bilgili [3] are available, but they are time consuming (average time; 3 min, 45 s) and may not be useful in routine. Bilgili compared hand and wrist plain radiographs and compared the findings with sonographic evaluation.…”

Abstract:Background: Quantitative ultrasonography of the proximal phalanges of the hand (QUS) has emerged as an attractive technical choice to assess bone quality features both in terms of bone mass and structure. Strong associations were found between QUS measures, chronological age and growth variables, such height, weight and pubertal stages. Aim: To evaluate the relationship between skeletal age and QUS variables and the influence of skeletal age on QUS variables after allowing for chronological age, height, weight and pubertal stage. Subjects and Methods: 235 healthy children and adolescents (85 boys and 150 girls) aged 3 -18 years were examined. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI) were collected. Skeletal age was assessed by the third version of Tanner-Whitehouse method (TW3). QUS variables amplitude dependent speed of sound (AD-SoS, m/s) and bone transmission time (BTT, µsec) were measured by DBM Sonic BP IGEA sonograph. Results: Statistically significant positive correlations were found between AD-SoS and BTT and skeletal age (R2 = 0.76 in boys and 0.83 in girls for AD-SoS and 0.96 in boys and 0.93 in girls for BTT). A very close correlation was observed between skeletal age and BTT even after adjusting for chronological age, height, weight, and pubertal stage. In both sexes, chronological age, height and BTT resulted significant predictors of skeletal age. Conclusion: Skeletal age has emerged as an important determinant of phalangeal QUS measurements, mainly BTT. Skeletal maturity should be taken into account when QUS technology is used to evaluate bone mass and structure in children.
