“…STT data have been obtained on X-ray images as well, allowing these measurements to be taken in vivo [1,11,14]. However, at present, such data have been collected from living individuals using ultrasound [1,4,6,13,33], magnetic resonance imaging [23], and computed tomography (CT), including data from multislice CT [3,10,15,20], spiral CT [2,9,19, 31] and cone-beam CT [16,22].…”

Facial soft tissue thicknesses in Bulgarian adults: relation to sex, body mass index and bilateral asymmetry

et al. 2018

The aim of the study is to measure the facial soft tissue thicknesses (STTs) in Bulgarians, to evaluate the relation of the STTs to the nutritional status, sex and bilateral asymmetry, and to examine the correlations between the separate STTs as well as between the STTs and body weight, height, and body mass index (BMI). In the present study, the facial STTs were measured on computed tomography scans of the head of Bulgarian adults. The STTs were measured at 7 midline and 9 bilateral landmarks. The measurements were performed in the free software InVesalius in the axial and sagittal planes. The mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, median and coefficient of variation were reported for the STT at each landmark according to the sex and BMI category. The BMI, sex and bilateral differences were assessed for statistical significance. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to assess the strength and direction of the relationships between the STTs and body height, weight and BMI, as well as between separate STTs. The facial soft tissues in Bulgarian adults changed in accordance with the nutritional status of the individual and in both sexes all STTs augmented with the increasing BMI. For both normal and overweight BMI categories, males had more soft tissue at the majority of facial points than females, as the only exceptions were observed in the cheek zone, where STTs were thicker in females. Significant bilateral differences were observed in either sex and BMI category. Stronger correlations were established for the STTs in the jaw region and between the cheek and jaw soft tissues. Besides, the correlations between the homologous bilateral landmarks were among the strongest ones.

“…head injury or congenital condition) or there may be soft tissue distortion related to the head band, pillow or position of the head in the scanner. Cone Beam CT may resolve some of these issues in future research [103,104] as the radiation dose is low and the patient can sit up during scanning, limiting the effects of gravity of the facial soft tissues.…”

The recognition of a decedent by a family member is commonplace in forensic investigation and is often employed as identity confirmation. However, it is recognized that misidentification from facial recognition is also common and faces of the dead may be extremely difficult to recognize due to decomposition or external damage, and even immediate post-mortem changes may be significant enough to confuse an observer. The depiction of faces of the dead can be a useful tool for promoting recognition leading to identification and post-mortem facial depiction is described as the interpretation of human remains in order to suggest the living appearance of an individual. This paper provides an historical context relating to the changing view of society to the presentation and publication of post-mortem facial depictions and discusses the current ethical, practical and academic challenges associated with these images. We submit a paper to be considered for publication in the Forensic Science International as a review paper.The research has not been presented at any conference, nor published in any publication, nor submitted for publication to any other journal or publication.There are no conflicts of interest or publication problems, or additional information appropriate to the publication.
