3D C-arm as an alternative modality to CT in postmortem imaging: Technical feasibility

Contribution of postmortem multidetector CT scanning to identification of the deceased in a mass disaster: Experience gained from the 2009 Victorian bushfires

“…Dedicated coned beam CT would also be of use in assessment of the dentition especially in adults where metallic artifact from materials such as amalgam is problematic [31]. MRI was considered as a possible imaging modality but not performed in this DVI exercise because of concern regarding multiple metallic fragments commingled with remains causing artifact and possible harm to scan operators as well as reduced image quality due to heat effects producing desiccation of the bodies [32].…”

Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) imaging of the oral and maxillofacial region: A systematic review of the literature

“…2 papers described the feasibility of a virtual augmented model for orthognathic surgery 160,161 while 1 paper mentioned the future use of CBCT imaging in the setup of a virtual craniofacial patient model 30 . In 1 paper the feasibility of a virtual autopsy with the use of CBCT imaging was discussed 135 . 2 papers investigated the feasiblility of CBCT for intraoperative imaging and guidance in temporal bone surgery 136 and frontal bone surgery 137 .…”

Analyses of sexual dimorphism of reconstructed pelvic computed tomography images of contemporary Japanese using curvature of the greater sciatic notch, pubic arch and greater pelvis

“…New imaging techniques have been recently introduced in various forensic fields [1][2][3][4][5]. In particular, 3-dimensional (3D) images reconstructed from volume data of multi-slice computed tomography (CT) boast high reproducibility, and several attempts utilizing CT reconstruction images of bones have been reported in the field of forensic and physical anthropology [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
