Shared Passion
Forensic Radiography
Forensic Radiography is the field of imaging, which provides medico-legal evidence in the means of radiography, cross-sectional imaging, surface scanning, photogrammetry and other modalities.
Post-Mortem Imaging
Imaging of deceased can offer important information about cause of the death and identity.
Forensic Human Identification
Identifying deceased or living individuals can benefit from dental and other imaging.
Disaster Victim Identification (DVI)
Modern DVI teams may use mobile CT units on location to speed up the process.
Suspected Physical Abuse (SPA)
Imaging of SPA of children or vulnerable adults is common practice in many hospitals.
Trafficking
Finding intracorporeal illegal substances often requires imaging of the suspect.
Age Assessment
Imaging is part of the age assessment of the asylum seekers who's age is unclear.
Forensic Archaeology
Imaging can be used to investigate archaeological findings such as mummified remains.

Forensic radiographers work closely with police forces, forensic anthropologists, pathologists and other professionals.
