Area of Science:

Forensic Medicine
Forensic Anthropology
Radiology

Background:

Age at death estimation is crucial in forensic medicine and anthropology.
Current methods may have limitations, necessitating novel approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a novel approach using postmortem CT radiomics for age at death estimation.
To optimize preprocessing parameters for radiomic feature extraction.

Main Methods:

A pilot study involving 60 proximal right femora segmented using 3D Slicer.
Radiomic features extracted across 12 preprocessing configurations (resampling, LoG kernel size, bin width).
Feature stability assessed, followed by feature selection and 12 Random Forest Regression models.

Main Results:

Most feature groups showed similar stability, except NGTDM features.
First-order features and wavelet decompositions dominated feature selection.
The best Random Forest model achieved R2 = 0.527 and RMSE ≈ 12.8 years.

Conclusions:

Preliminary results are promising for an automated age at death estimation model.
This approach has the potential to revolutionize forensic medicine and anthropology.
Further development could lead to a robust, automated tool for age estimation.
