In forensic practice determination of legal majority age
is getting an increasing interest, e.g. for dealing with
asylum seekers without proper identification.
Traditional methods based on X-ray investigations of
bone ossifications have the drawback of exposure to
harmful ionizing radiation. MR based techniques overcome
this limitation. Together with detection, automatic
feature extraction and age estimation based on machine
learning, MR may eventually become a powerful tool in
this context. A first step in this direction is
presented, by investigating age estimation based on the
ossification of the wrist radius bone in an automatic
fashion.
