International Society of Forensic Radiology and Imaging 2020

[Terrie S]

In case there is any interest here in the applications of radiology and imaging in forensic science, I wanted to share the link to the next conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 14-16, 2020: https://www.isfri2020.com/.

 

I definitely plan to go and will probably submit some kind of abstract about bones from CT supplementing reference collections for forensic anthropology. The abstract submission deadline is December 12.

Thanks for sharing Terrie!

[Angel Sosa]

Excellent! Thank you!

I remember seeing 3D printed skulls from CT scans many years ago at JPAC, the Joint POW MIA Accounting command based at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. It was a pretty cool idea to study the 3D printed models so that the original remains could be buried, thus giving families closure, etc. I think there is great potential in anthropology for this type of technology.

[Terrie S]

Yes definitely! I would definitely like to see it applied more to unidentified remains.

Unfortunately, like many conferences this spring, this one is also cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Maybe next year?
