dc.description.abstractIn forensic medicine practice, age estimation-both in living and deceased individuals-can be requested due to legal requirements. Radiologic methods, such as X-rays, for the estimation of bone age have been discussed, and ethical concerns have been raised. Given these factors, radiologic methods that reduce radiation exposure have gained importance and have become one of the research topics in forensic medicine. In this study, the MR images of the ankles of patients aged between 8 and 25 years, obtained with a 3.0 T MR scanner, were evaluated retrospectively according to the staging method defined by Vieth et al. In the study, the ankle MR images of 201 cases (83 females and 118 males) with sagittal T1-weighted turbo spin echo and T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery sequences were evaluated independently by two observers. According to the results of our study, the intra- and inter-observer agreements are at a very good level for both the distal tibial and calcaneal epiphyses. All the cases detected as stages 2, 3, and 4 in both sexes for both the distal tibial and the calcaneal epiphyses have been determined to be under the age of 18 years. According to the data obtained from our study, we consider that stage 5 for males and stage 6 for both sexes in the distal tibial epiphysis and stage 6 for males in the calcaneal epiphysis can be used to estimate the age of 15 years. As far as we know, our study is the first to evaluate ankle MR images with the method defined by Vieth et al. Further studies should be conducted to evaluate the validity of the procedure.en_US
