A review of the medical diagnostic techniques for forensic age estimation (FAE) in minors (2nd part)

Abstract

Multifactorial techniques have been proposed to increase accuracy and help control for variation that may occur in any one single age indicator’. The different methods are associated with varying degrees of uncertainty and precision. No age estimation method or group of methods today can determine the exact chronological age of a minor. Much research is still needed on age estimation methods. This is still an ongoing process with advance imaging technology and statistical interpretation.
