A 40-year-old man was admitted to hospital with a scalp wound but died 22 days later after unsuccessful treatment. Initial assessment of the cranial fragments removed during surgery revealed fine fracture lines on the endocranial surface, and a dark arcuate line on the ectocranial surface. To investigate the extent of the fractures a μCT scan of the fragments was taken, examined in 3D, and compared to plain radiographs. Some fractures were found to extend through the full thickness of the skull. This case presents a novel application of μCT technology to forensic radiology.
一位 40 岁男子因头皮伤口住院，但在治疗失败 22 天后死亡。对手术中取出的颅碎块进行初步评估发现，内颅面有细的骨折线，外颅面有暗弧形线。为了调查骨折的程度，对碎块进行了 μCT 扫描，以 3D 形式进行了检查，并与普通射线照片进行了比较。一些骨折被发现延伸穿过颅骨的全层。本案例提出了 μCT 技术在法医放射学中的新应用。
