Abstract	:	Personal identification is defined as establishing the identity of an individual. The need for personal identification arises in natural mass disasters like earth quakes, tsunamis, landslides, floods etc., and in man-made disasters such as terrorist attacks, bomb blasts, mass murders, and in cases when the body is highly decomposed or dismembered to deliberately conceal the identity of the individual. Computers have been widely used in the field of medical research over the past few decades. Machine Learning and Biomedical Image Processing Techniques have enormously contributed in the field of Medical Image Analysis, classification and recognition. But fewer contributions have been made in the area of forensics by researchers. There is a scope for researches, where they can make their contributions especially in medical image analysis where they can estimate age and identify gender using digital X-ray images. In this paper, we are identifying features of Femur, Teeth and Wrist features that are helpful for age and gender identification.
