Forensic medicine deals with a wide variety of cases. To accomplish the main objectives, this professional field needs to adopt and apply findings from other sciences, namely, different medical specialties and other forensic sciences. The opposite is not yet entirely true due to the fact that forensic medicine deals with cases that are very far away from other medical and scientific interests. It is obvious that this forgotten world of forensic medicine … is also a new world of opportunities and challenges to research in all scientific areas.
法医学涉及各种各样的案例。为了实现主要目标，这个专业领域需要采用和应用其他科学的发现，即不同的医学专业和其他法医学科。相反，由于法医学处理的案例与其他医学和科学利益非常遥远，这种情况并非完全如此。很明显，法医学这个被遗忘的领域……也是所有科学领域研究的新机遇和挑战的世界。
