Adult age determination plays an important role in individual identification, criminal investigation and social welfare. The most popular adult age determination indicators are pubic symphysis, iliac auricular surface, costal cartilage, cranial sutures, teeth, laryngeal cartilage, etc. In recent years, with the progress of CT imaging and 3D reconstruction technology, the adult age determination study gradually has transferred from a time-consuming general observation of bones with complex pre-processing in the past to the non-destructive, convenient, time-saving and easy to store image analysis technology. To explore more accurate, rapid and convenient adult age determination methods, multiple imaging methods and artificial intelligence have been applied in adult age determination. This paper reviews the common methods and research progress of adult age determination at home and abroad, infers the development direction of adult age determination, in order to provide reference for the improvement and optimization of forensic adult age determination.
成年人年龄判定在个体识别、刑事侦查和社会福利中发挥着重要作用。最常用的成年人年龄判定指标有耻骨联合、髂耳面、肋软骨、颅缝、牙齿、喉软骨等。近年来，随着CT成像和三维重建技术的进步，成年人年龄判定研究逐渐从过去对骨骼进行复杂预处理的耗时常规观察，转向无损、便捷、省时且易于存储的图像分析技术。为探索更准确、快速且便捷的成年人年龄判定方法，多种成像方法和人工智能已应用于成年人年龄判定。本文综述了国内外成年人年龄判定的常用方法及研究进展，推断成年人年龄判定的发展方向，以期为法医成年人年龄判定的改进和优化提供参考。
