Abstract

 The present paper highlights the importance of radiology in forensic practice, which is applicable to the living as well as the dead. The interaction between the two disciplines is considerable, as forensic problems ranging from personal identification to age estimation have been solved radiologically. Through the years, radiology has proved to be an invaluable tool in the investigation of violent and unnatural deaths. A recent development in this field is the concept of a ‘virtual’ or ‘digital’ autopsy that seeks to replace the scalpel with a scanner to determine the cause of death. Modern imaging techniques may be more acceptable to society than conventional postmortem examination­viewed by laymen as mutilating and disfiguring. 

Keywords: Forensic; Radiology; Virtual Autopsy.
