“…This has allowed practitioners to undertake skeletal assessments, including skeletal age estimation, through virtual means rather than through dissection or maceration (Brough et al, 2012, Dedouit et al, 2008, Dedouit et al, 2007a, Dedouit et al, 2007b, Telmon et al, 2005.…”

“…Culbert and Law (1927) Currently there is no agreed protocol to create a biological profile from PMCT examination of juveniles or adults. The literature presents a number of studies using single osteological or odontological assessments to assist with biological profiling (41)(42)(43)(44), but a system compiling all of these assessments into a single protocol had yet to be published or presented. In addition, the majority of these studies have been conducted using an adult cohort, with very few extending to the juvenile age range.…”

The future of pediatric and perinatal postmortem imaging

The field and applications of post-mortem imaging are exponentially growing. Its potential to identify the cause of death in trauma and ballistic cases is now properly documented, as well as its use in drug mules identification. In pediatric and perinatal practice, large significant series are less available, except for MRI and central nervous system analysis where scientific evidence is now robust. In this review, after a short historical review and analysis of current problems and challenges, we will try to depict the way we see the future of this sub-specialty of post-mortem cross sectional, including in the scope all specific situations : terminations of pregnancy, intrauterine death, sudden unexpected infant death, and identification issues.

“…Moreover, the anthropological preliminary reports can support the subsequent findings of primary identifiers such as Forensic Deoxyribo-Nucleic Acid (DNA), Forensic Odontology and Forensic Fingerprint. In this domain, PMCT opens a new field of research that is called virtual anthropology [1].…”

Introduction: Estimation of stature is an important tool in developing a biological profile for human identification especially using long bones. Thus far, stature estimation had been done mostly based on the American population. Both Thai Formula [6] and Malaysia Formula [4] were currently practice applied by Forensic Anthropologists in Malaysia. Amongst the Asian population, this study had shown that Thai Formula with direct bone measurement have higher accuracy and reliability compared to the Malaysia Formula.Methodology: A new tool is developed in this study to Formulate stature estimation by measuring via Postmortem Multislice Computed Tomography (PMCT) images on the average bilateral length measurements of 3 long bones including humerus, femur and tibia. All the postmortem cases in year 2015 involved Asian Population with known stature were included. A total sample size of 333 were selected by convenience sampling based on the archived PMCT images available and those images with fractured bones or presenting out of the PMCT framework were excluded.Results and Discussion: Statistical analyses showed that there was a significant difference of stature between sex but not significant between population and ancestry. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Regression analysis proved that lower limbs have higher correlation with the stature compared with upper limbs. This study has created more reliable Formula for Malaysia population compared to Non-Malaysia Asian population. For unknown dead bodies, forensic anthropologists were recommended to use both Femur and Tibia Length and the Formula under combined category to resemble the Asian population.
