“…Postmortem US has been compared with CT/CBCT and MRI in forensic medicine reference. In previous studies, US was considered to be of limited value because of gas formation due to tissue autolysis and the regular occurrence of pneumatosis intestinalis due to bacterial transmission [33]. The advantages of post-mortem imaging include potentially valuable findings that may help determine cause of death at low cost [34].…”

The vast majority of clinicians associate diagnostic ultrasound with a tool that is designed for the living patient. However, it is of course possible to apply this imaging technology to evaluate the recently deceased patient for postmortem diagnosis, or even just examine postmortem tissue. We describe several cases in which ultrasound-enabled providers obtain answers in postmortem examinations and discuss potential future strategies and applications. In addition, we will also illustrate the use of sonography in minimally invasive post-mortem tissue sampling (MITS), an approach that can be used in post-mortem minimally invasive autopsies as well as for establishing ultrasound diagnostic parameters in new medical fields such as periodontal and dental implant specialties.

Gender Related Changes of Bizygomatic Diameter, Maxilla and Foramen Magnum in Different Age Groups Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between gender and the measurements/evaluations acquiered from skull base on cone beam computed tomography images in people at different decades.Methods: The study was performed on 100 CBCT images of the subjects in five different decades (age-ranged between 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60-69). A classification in eight categories was used for the categorisation of foramen magnum type. The dimensions of foramen magnum and maxillary alveolar region measured transversally and sagitally. Byzigomatic width measured transversally. The evaluations were repeated twicely. Data was analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0. For statistically significance, p<0.05 was accepted as criteria.Results: In males "hegzagonal" type, in females "egg shaped" type was the most common forms. However, gender has no effect on the distribution of foramen types (p=0.841). Statistically significant difference was found between gender and all other measurements (p<0.05 for each one). Conclusion:The importance of radiologic data in forensic sciences is increasing. It was observed that data obtained from CBCT was compatible with data achieved from anatomic and CT studies using for determination of gender. It is foreseen that oral and maxillofacial radiology has an important contribution not only in the diagnosis of diseases, treatment and following of prognosis but also in forensic sciences.

“…Radiological imaging has become increasingly important and even essential in the forensic field. Many studies report methods and techniques based on radiology currently used in forensic anthropology and legal medicine to support the analyses of both the living (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) and the dead (9)(10)(11).…”

Many studies in the literature have highlighted the utility of virtual 3D databanks as a substitute for real skeletal collections and the important application of radiological records in personal identification. However, none have investigated the accuracy of virtual material compared to skeletal remains in nonmetric variant analysis using 3D models. The present study investigates the accuracy of 20 computed tomography (CT) 3D reconstruction models compared to the real crania, focusing on the quality of the reproduction of the real crania and the possibility to detect 29 dental/cranial morphological variations in 3D images. An interobserver analysis was performed to evaluate trait identification, number, position, and shape. Results demonstrate a false bone loss in 3D models in some cranial regions, specifically the maxillary and occipital bones in 85% and 20% of the samples. Additional analyses revealed several difficulties in the detection of cranial nonmetric traits in 3D models, resulting in incorrect identification in circa 70% of the traits. In particular, pitfalls included the detection of erroneous position, error in presence/absence rates, in number, and in shape. The lowest percentages of correct evaluations were found in traits localized in the lateral side of the cranium and for the infraorbital suture, mastoid foramen, and crenulation. The present study highlights important pitfalls in CT scan when compared with the real crania for nonmetric analysis. This may have crucial consequences in cases where 3D databanks are used as a source of reference population data for nonmetric traits and pathologies and during bone-CT comparisons for identification purposes.
