Evaluation of the Suitability of Cranial Measurements Obtained from Surface-Rendered CT Scans of Living People for Estimating Sex and Ancestry
Publication date: Available online 30 September 2019Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and ImagingAuthor(s): Terrie L. Simmons-Ehrhardt, Christopher J. Ehrhardt, Keith L. MonsonAbstractCraniometric data from computed tomography (CT) head scans of 287 living Americans of three descent groups (African, Asian, European) and both sexes were analyzed for measurement precision. Classification accuracy was estimated by a leave-one-out cross validation, and group means were compared to the Forensic Data Bank (FDB). Landmarks were placed on 3D surface models of the skulls to approximate traditional cranial measurements utilized ...

Forensic fractography of bone using computed tomography (CT) scans
Publication date: Available online 20 August 2019Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and ImagingAuthor(s): Angi M. Christensen, Gary M. HatchAbstractFractography is the study of fracture surface morphology and its relationship to crack propagation. Recent work has demonstrated the utility of fractography for interpreting crack propagation and impact direction in fractured bones as part of forensic anthropological trauma analyses on skeletonized remains. In this proof-of-concept work, we assess whether the science of fractography can be applied using CT scans of bone fractures. For CT scans to have practical potential for...

Age and sex estimation by knee roentgenographic assessment: an Egyptian population study
Publication date: Available online 13 July 2019Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and ImagingAuthor(s): Nermeen N. Welson, Ahmed Sayed Abd El BassetAbstractEpiphyseal plates union gives valuable information about age. The knee joint is an articulation of three long bones so it is an important anatomical site to be considered and it can help for assessment of the age group of 10-20 years particularly. Also the knee can carry important information for sex identification through measuring the femur bicondylar distance and various patellar dimensions. The aim of this study is to assess the value of radiographic knee examina...

Dental identification using 3D printed teeth following a mass fatality incident
Publication date: Available online 11 July 2019Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and ImagingAuthor(s): Dr Mike Biggs, Dr Phil MarsdenAbstractFollowing a mass fatality event there is a requirement to establish the identities of the deceased individuals as quickly as possible, but with sufficient certainty. Comparison of post-mortem dentition with ante-mortem records remains one of the most cost-effective methods of achieving this reliably and in a timely manner. The relatively recent introduction of post-mortem CT scanning into the Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) environment has brought with it an abundance of addi...

Accuracy and reliability of enamel and dentin thickness measurements on micro-computed tomography and digital periapical radiographs#
In conclusion, dentin and enamel measurements by Micro-CT was highly accurate and reliable as in the conventional method (PR). Micro-CT evaluations should be recommended for implementation in the future anthropological studies especially in countries with limited source of dental data.

Applicability and reliability of foramen magnum for sex determination in contemporary Western Indian population: A computed tomographic study
Publication date: Available online 27 May 2019Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and ImagingAuthor(s): Mitalee Mehta, Vineeta Saini, M.N. Patel, S.K. MenonABSTRACTEstablishing sex of fragmentary skeletal remains is a critical issue in forensic anthropology and is of prime importance, since it helps to significantly narrow down the number of potential victims. Forensic anthropologists have always advocated for population specific sex discriminant formula for each population using different skeletal parts. Till date Gujarati population of India has not have any discriminant formulae for sex determination from fragmentary ...
