“…Despite the benefits of these collections, some questions regarding the use and interpretation of data collected from these samples are still debated in the literature [ 8 , 10 ]. Advances in imaging and 3D scanning technologies have also resulted in a shift toward a more virtual approach to anthropological analyses [ 11 , 12 ]. However, cost and accessibility of these technological approaches, lack of agreement regarding standardization, and ethical concerns still limit their widespread use in many developing countries [ 12 ].…”

“…Often, use of such technologies is also not practical in forensic contexts where poorly funded government facilities are unable to capture data in the required formats, and antemortem data for comparison is unavailable for the majority of cases [ 13 ]. While the benefits of digitization are clear and access is improving, many support the continued use of skeletal collections for macroscopic analyses and use of advanced technologies, when available, as complementary [ 11 , 12 ].…”

Documented skeletal collections are valuable resources for anthropological studies aimed at reconstruction of the biological profile and examination of osteological trauma and pathology. The Free State Collection for Anthropological Research is a new, contemporary skeletal collection, based in central South Africa that has become available for such studies. This paper aims to provide an overview of the collection to encourage its future use in national and international research. The collection currently contains 64 female and 122 male skeletons of individuals that have died in the Free State province since the year 2000. Black individuals constitute 94.6% of the collection. Age-at-death ranges between 19 and 86 years, with an overall mean of 40 years. Year-of-birth ranges from 1927 to 1991. Tuberculosis (22.6%) and influenza/pneumonia (20.4%) are the most common cause of death for these individuals. Although the current demographic profile of the collection is skewed, new individuals are continuously being added. The collection offers several opportunities for anthropological research. The relatively young age-at-death and contemporary nature of the collection make it a useful tool for validation of existing methods for estimations of components of the biological profile. It can also be used in conjunction with other collections for the development of new methods for age and sex estimation and studies of trauma and disease manifestation of the skeleton.

Background. Due to intensive blood supply to the red bone marrow, as well as high adhesive abilities of tumor cells, bone tissue is a perfect structure for the metastatic process. Timely identification of the pathological process is highly relevant, since data from numerous sources on the use of radiation methods at later stages indicate the development of severe pathological conditions leading to neurological deficiency and significant decrease in a patient’s quality of life. Objective: to summarize data on the diagnostic effectiveness of osteoscintigraphy (OSG), as well as to conduct a comparative analysis of various diagnostic methods in bone metastases detection. Material and methods. The review was performed according to PRISMA standard (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). It included only full-text articles published in the period from 2015 to 2022, as well as particularly important publications from 2005 to 2014. The search for articles was carried out independently using CyberLeninka, eLibrary, Google Scholar, PubMed/MEDLINE databases, by key terms without the use of language restrictions: “osteoscintigraphy”, “radiology’, “tumors”, “bones”, “diagnosis”. Results. The final analysis included 56 scientific articles by a qualitative indicator. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods, as well as indications for the use of various diagnostic techniques in bone metastatic lesions detection were presented. It was shown that OSG will cost 6 times cheaper than positron emission tomography (PET), and 3 times cheaper than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The analysis of using radiation methods demonstrated that the specificity of computed tomography and radiography was at a high level, but this techniques had less pronounced sensitivity, and MRI, OSG and PET had greater sensitivity, but insufficient specificity. In the initial stage of the disease, OSG is one of the main methods of metastatic lesions visualization, but not the only way of diagnosis in diversification strategy aspect. Conclusion. OSG is an effective and informative technique for early detection of bone metastases, allowing to assess the functional state of the tumor and its surrounding tissues, even before the appearance of structural disorders visible by other diagnostic methods. To improve the accuracy of the study, it is advisable to use a set of radiation diagnostic techniques. The choice of a particular method is determined by its technical capability and financial availability.
