A Radiologic Atlas of Abuse, Torture, Terrorism, and Inflicted Trauma

Two distinguished radiologists and a renowned odontologist combine their lifetime collections of photographs dealing with radiologic diagnosis of violence. This atlas not only includes radiographs related to clinical forensic medicine, but also illustrates the radiologic techniques that detect arms, explosives, and other weapons. Providing more than 700 large, black and white radiographs and 30 color photos, the atlas allows for quick reference in cases of child abuse, police brutality, starvation, and other results of trauma. The book assists radiologists in crime laboratories by providing comparison photographs to recognize foreign material, such as letter bombs, as well as evidence of homicide by irradiation.
