Application of 3D image fusion for radiological identification of decedents
This article demonstrates image fusions of three-dimensional datasets using medical image fusion software and describes RadID based on paranasal sinus, orthopedic implant, degenerative changes, healed fracture and dental positions by means of superimposed datasets (from computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging).Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

Post mortem CT angiography in fetuses or newborn: Very affordable pump and catheter solution
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging, Volume 13Author(s): Wolf Schweitzer, Michael Thali, Rosa Maria Martinez, Lars EbertAbstractThis technical note describes a pump and catheter setup that is geared towards performing post mortem computed tomography angiography (PMCTA) examinations in fetal humans. With a voltage controlled very affordable immersion pump and a modified butterfly injection needle, relatively stable linear voltage flow rate relationships can be obtained across flow rates in the range of 30 to 150 ml/min. Flow rates are calculated and compared with actual measurement...

Subdural hematoma in an infant with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and a rare primary intra-osseous vascular malformation
We present a unique case of a four-week-old boy who died of a severe hypoxic encephalopathy due to a subdural hematoma. A week before his demise, a small left sided parieto-occipital subdural hemorrhage was seen on both CT and MRI. On the right side a larger, fronto-parietal subdural hemorrhage was present with a prominently defined protuberance to the right hemisphere, causing a midline shift to the left. Subdural hematomas have a broad differential diagnosis, including abusive head trauma which can have far reaching consequences. In order to diagnose the underlying cause of the subdural hematoma, and subsequently confirm...

Sex estimation from the mastoid process using Micro-CT among Brazilians: Discriminant analysis and ROC curve analysis
In conclusion, the mastoid process has good sexual dimorphism in Brazilian skulls and can be considered a tool for predicting sex in cases of fragmented craniums. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

A new method for the interpretation of veterinary forensic necropsy and PMCT finding with Bayesian decision theory
This study aimed to understand the probability of death, given that a necropsied animal presented a specific RF. To estimate all contributions of the 48 RF, we designed a simple survey based on the Delphi method. In this survey, we invited veterinarians to evaluate the 48 NF and to assign a grade in a Likert scale from 0 to 10 for each of the RFs. In this scale, 0 (zero) indicates that the NF does not contribute to the animal's death, and 10 (ten) indicates that this NFdoes totally contributes to the animal's death. Therefore, each veterinarian, according to their own professional experience, assigns a grade describing how...

Dental Post-mortem Computed Tomography for Disaster Victim Identification: A literature review
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging, Volume 13Author(s): Elisa Nguyen, Edel DoyleAbstractOver the last decade, post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) has been increasingly adopted within the forensic setting. The three-dimensional (3D) capability and non-destructive approach of PMCT allows it to have several advantages over conventional x-rays, and as such it may be of potential use within forensic odontology for disaster victim identification (DVI). However, the implementation of dental PMCT can only have a real forensic benefit if its accuracy is comparable to that of conventional...

Imaging findings of diabetes on post-mortem CT
Publication date: June 2018Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging, Volume 13Author(s): Thomas D Ruder, Wolf Schweitzer, Garyfalia Ampanozi, Dominic Gascho, Patricia M Flach, Michael J Thali, Gary M HatchAbstractDiabetes mellitus is a chronic, metabolic disease primarily defined by elevated levels of blood glucose. Long term effects of micro- and macrovascular damage may affect the cardio-vascular system, genitourinary tract, abdominal organs, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system. Diabetes can be challenging to detect at autopsy and if investigators are unaware of the medical history at the time of the auto...
