文摘
Definition of the problemAn increasing number of young refugees whose ages are not reliably known is thrusting the problem of medical and dental age estimation via x‑ray examinations to the forefront of public discussion. Despite continual criticism of the organised German medical profession for this procedure and its associated radiation exposure for nonmedical purposes, x‑raying the carpal bone, the clavicle or the teeth to determine age remains common practice. Consequently, the official verification of asylum seekers’ ages has considerable ramifications since refugee minors have particular rights.
