Diagnostic individual cross-sectional studies with consistently applied reference standard and blinding. Diagnostic individual cross-sectional studies with consistently applied reference standard and blinding. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of arm position in computed tomography (CT) of the clavicle performed for forensic age estimation on clavicular position, image noise, and radiation dose. Forty-seven CT scans of the medial clavicular epiphysis performed for forensic age estimation were conducted with either hands and arms held upwards (CT 28 persons) or positioned at the body (CT , 19 persons). Presets were identical for both positions (70 mAs/140 kVp; Brilliance iCT, Philips). Each CT scan was reconstructed with an iterative algorithm (i-Dose 4) and evaluated at the middle of the sternoclavicular joint. Clavicular angle was measured on a.p. topograms in relation to a horizontal line. Quantitative image noise was measured in air at the level of medial clavicular epiphysis. Effective dose and scan length were recorded. Hands-up position compared with hands-down position resulted in a lower lateral body diameter (CT 41.1 ± 3.6 cm vs. CT 44.6 ± 3.1 cm; P = 0.03), a reduced quantitativear position differs
