Positive identification based on radiographic examination of the leg and foot. A case report

DW Owsley and RW Mann

The authors have presented a forensic anthropology case that established positive identification by comparison of antemortem and postmortem x-rays of the legs and feet. This case illustrates one method of ascertaining the identity of a burned and skeletonized victim. By careful reconstruction and examination of the skeleton, the investigators were able to determine not only age, race, and sex, but also trauma sustained to the head and left arm at the time of death. This case highlights the importance and application of clinical radiography in a legal context.
