When human remains are found, with no evidence of identity, facial approximation can be a useful technique to employ. The reconstruction of the ante-mortem appearance can reproduce the likely features of the face, starting from the skull, based on the overlying soft-tissue thickness. Over the years, many techniques have been developed to achieve soft-tissue thickness measurements, one of which is based on the use of cone beam computed tomography. This study aimed to review the status of this technique and to evaluate heterogeneity among studies undertaken in this field, with particular regard to determination of landmarks, sex and body mass index.
当发现无人身识别证据的人类遗骸时，面部近似技术可能是一种有用的方法。这种技术可以根据颅骨上的软组织厚度，从颅骨开始，重建生前的面部外观，重现面部的可能特征。多年来，已经开发出许多技术来测量软组织厚度，其中一种技术基于锥形束计算机断层扫描。本研究旨在回顾该技术的现状，并评估该领域研究的异质性，特别关注确定标志点、性别和体重指数。
