Abstract:
:In the forensic anthropology practice, bone diseases are rarely considered for personal identification. In this paper, we present a forensic skeletonized case with tuberculous bone lesions, for which bone pathology may provide an indicator for positive personal identification. Antemortem hospital records were available. Postmortem CT scans of the pathologically affected bones were performed, and 3D reconstructions with Global Illumination Reconstruction software (GIR) were realized, in order to confront antemortem and postmortem data. As a result, the juxtaposition and superimposition of antemortem and postmortem images evidenced several points of correspondence in the position, anatomical contour, character, and morphological characteristics of the bone lesions, thus demonstrating through a concrete case study the potential of morphological features of bone lesions for the personal identification of unknown deceased.
