Forensic age estimation in the living by 0.31 Tesla low-field MRI of the distal radius
When using the presented setting of a low-field 0.31 T dedicated joint scanner, acquiring PDw Dixon fat-only and water-only series of the radius' distal epiphysis and using the presented classification, majority can be determined in male but not in female individuals of our cohort. Therefore, 0.31 T low-field MRI yields similar opportunities as examinations by means of high-field MRI scanners.
