- Authors
Kumar, Ajay; Patra, Apurba
- Abstract
The application of anatomical techniques in forensic medicine plays a pivotal role in the accurate identification of individuals, particularly in cases involving unidentified remains or when traditional identification methods are insufficient. This review article explores the various anatomical approaches employed in forensic contexts, including skeletal analysis, dental records, craniofacial reconstruction, and comparative radiography. By examining these techniques, the article highlights their significance in establishing personal identity, emphasizing their accuracy, reliability, and practical utility in forensic investigations. Additionally, the review discusses recent advancements in anatomical methodologies and their integration with modern technologies such as imaging and DNA analysis, which have further enhanced the precision of personal identification. The article underscores the importance of continued research and interdisciplinary collaboration in refining these techniques, ensuring that forensic practitioners are equipped with the most effective tools for resolving complex identification challenges. This review serves as a comprehensive resource for forensic professionals and researchers, offering insights into the evolving role of anatomy in the field of forensic medicine and its crucial contribution to the pursuit of justice.
