Any objective persisting signs of previous torture would be very valuable in the late assessment of the individual claiming such abuse of human rights. We present the case of a 32-year-old man referred to our hospital for an opinion on alleged torture by the falanga method. Magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy were evaluated and compared as methods of confirming such torture.
