Abstract:
A method was developed for estimating the age at death based on image processing of soft X-ray pictures of thyroid cartilage from Japanese males. Data for 501 individuals were used to derive equations for this determination. Prior to image processing, gross morphological findings were used for estimation. Soft X-ray pictures indicated ossification with age and one index for image processing was introduced. The exponential function was applied to age estimation.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
