Abstract
|
|
|
|
CT and MRI are high-tech devices for medical diagnosis. Their electromechanical function has leaped forward such a fast step, so that their image quality is improved and the time for a whole body scanning is shortened as little as only several minutes. These essential diagnostic tools are tried to apply for the field of forensic medicine in favor of their noninvasiveness and great resolution. These merits could make our postmortem investigation system improve in the aspect of practicality. This presenting study was done for the purpose of expecting what the field of forensic medicine could get or lose, what is needed technically, and what kind of supports are required. In our preliminary study, we gave injuries to the pigs’ heads with weapons, scanned the wounds with high-tech devices, and embodied the injuries and the weapons three-dimensionally. These high-tech methods would be expected to play a role in forensic medicine and scientific crime investigation as a new and powerful testimony.
