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...

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)

Imaging findings of diabetes on post-mortem CT
Publication date: Available online 4 May 2018 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): Thomas D Ruder, Wolf Schweitzer, Garyfalia Ampanozi, Dominic Gascho, Patricia M Flach, Michael J Thali, Gary M Hatch Diabetes 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 o...

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...

Post mortem CT angiography in fetuses or newborn: very affordable pump and catheter solution
Publication date: Available online 25 April 2018 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): Wolf Schweitzer, Michael Thali, Rosa Maria Martinez, Lars Ebert This 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 mea...

Post-mortem computed tomography of cervical intervertebral separation: Retrospective review and comparison of the autopsy results of 57 separations
Conclusion Approximately 70% of the cases with cervical intervertebral separations had various abnormal findings on CT imaging. The most common finding was intervertebral gas, but the sensitivity of intervertebral gas was not adequate. (Source: Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging)

Dental Post-mortem Computed Tomography for Disaster Victim Identification: A literature review
Publication date: Available online 27 March 2018 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): Elisa Nguyen, Edel Doyle Over 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 conv...

Possible XOR fallacy – Case report of combined foramen sternale with an osseous sternal knife stab injury
Publication date: Available online 15 March 2018 Source:Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging Author(s): Wolf Schweitzer, Garyfalia Ampanozi, Lars Ebert, Michael Thali, Damaris Fröhlich Knaute This case report details a sternal finding that first was reported as penetrating knife stab wound. It was one in a series of 24 otherwise relatively superficial skin stab wounds allegedly performed by a single assailant within the scope of a single attack. The effort required to penetrate the sternum with a knife appears to be considerably higher than to inflict relatively superficial skin and soft tissue penetration. Th...

Morphometric analysis of the frontal sinus: application of industrial digital radiography and virtual endocast
Conclusion The industrial µCT-systems support both 2D and 3D imaging and could generate images with a high resolution. Therefore, if the industrial digital radiography is selected as an eligible imaging modality for FS investigation and documentation in conformity with the research goals, the appropriate skull positioning ensures reliable readings of the linear FS dimensions.
