Age at death estimation of adult males using coxal bone and CT scan: A preliminary study

Three-dimensional computer-assisted craniometrics: A comparison of the uncertainty in measurement induced by surface reconstruction performed by two computer programs

“…AMIRA (Mercury computer systems, Berlin, Germany) is a 3D modelling and visualisation system widely used for observation and quantification in several scientific disciplines [23][24][25] and physical anthropology [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. It offers two kinds of surface extraction: one using an isosurface algorithm and the other using a segmented surface algorithm.…”

Age and gender-dependent bone density changes of the human skull disclosed by high-resolution flat-panel computed tomography

“…They investigated metric anatomical properties defined earlier by Suchey-Brooks [12] and indicated errors for the aad estimation in a range from 7.3 to 11.6 years. Ferrant et al [13] investigated CT images of coxal bones and performed anatomic measurements. Other methods try to estimate aad in all age ranges.…”

Age estimation of skeletal remains: principal methods

“…Generally, the first studies tried to compare CT scan images and/or 3D visualizations directly with the above-described phases (eg, scoring sterna rib end, 32 suture closure, 33 and pubic symphysis), 34 while since, more work has been done to directly describe stages or phases, based on CT information. 35,36 In the future, it may be expected that more methods will incorporate digital information from a CT scan, rather than just purely morphological, visual (reconstructed) data; only a few studies have measured trabecular structure changes, 37,38 or quantified curvature in the symphysis pubic. 39 Adjunct to the much wider application of CT is the noteworthy fact that this may also be a basis for much more reference data.…”
