Abstract:
The topical and unsolved problems of recognizing somebody's identity of dead and alive persons are outlined. An original procedure and algorithm of identity by the chest structural features revealed by X-ray study are proposed. Mathematical criteria for assessing the found individual signs to prove somebody's identity have been developed. An analysis has been made of 29 cases with the proposed procedure when the employment of conventional criminological and forensic medical methods was impossible due to significant injuries of the head and extremities in the corpse.

X-ray Imaging
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Pneumothorax-II
Clinical Manifestations:
Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
