Age estimation methods using hand and wrist radiographs in a group of contemporary Thais

This study showed no significant difference between Tanner-Whitehouse 3 RUS age and chronological age for male subjects of contemporary Thai children and adolescents. However, Greulich-Pyle and Fishman method were superior regarding the accuracy of prediction based on Thai legal age thresholds. Due to the possible effects from ethnical difference and secular changes, adaptation of age estimation methods specifically for contemporary Thai population should be further studied.
