Quantified comparison of frontal sinus patterns by means of computed tomography
TLDR
A scoring system is described for the precise and quantified comparison of frontal sinuses in antemortem to postmortem CT scans and the application of these procedures to actual cases is described.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Use of multislice computed tomography in disaster victim identification--advantages and limitations.
TL;DR: This study investigates how postmortem multislice computed tomography (MSCT) can contribute to the DVI process as proposed by Interpol and concludes that MSCT may be used as a valuable screening tool in DVI in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification by frontal sinus pattern in forensic anthropology.
TL;DR: The authors report forensic cases from the literature, as well as two personal homicide cases, of identification through comparison of frontal sinus radiographs, pointing out the reliability of the method, but also some difficulties, especially in reference to the distance, orientation and angle of the X-ray technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of gender by measuring the size of the maxillary sinuses in computerized tomography scans.
TL;DR: Computerized Tomography measurements of maxillary sinuses may be useful to support gender determination in forensic medicine; however, with a relatively low-accuracy rate (less than 70%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomical variability of the frontal sinuses and their application in forensic identification.
TL;DR: The case illustrated here is an application of the frontal sinus identification of a victim in a mass disaster.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disaster Victim Identification: New Applications for Postmortem Computed Tomography
TL;DR: The role of the forensic anthropologist and CT technology were paramount in facilitating a quick identification, and subsequently, an effective and timely reconciliation, of body parts following a recent Australian aviation disaster involving two individuals.

TL;DR: Use of LOCM may be beneficial in patients with existing renal failure, and the pooled odds of a rise in SCr level of more than 44 mumol/L with LOCM was three times that after HOCM.

Computed medical imaging
TL;DR: If suckling is more broadly defined in terms of mechanisms of attachment and responsiveness to milk injection into the back of the mouth, the place where milk is normally delivered, then the Hall studies do address the suckling mechanism, and techniques will have to be developed to honor the more restrictive definition of suckling.

Dental development of the Taung skull from computerized tomography
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Taung 'child' shows some important dental maturational affinities with great apes, although as Dart1 noted, other hominid-like features are clearly present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applicability of X‐ray computerized tomography in endodontics
TL;DR: Using CT scans made it possible to determine buccolingual and mesiodistal widths of teeth, and the presence or absence of root canal filling materials and metal posts, as well as to determine the relation of the teeth to the periodontal tissues.
