METHOD FOR PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION BY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/117 A61B6/03 G06K9/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, forensic pathology and aims at the personal identification of unidentified dead bodies and fragments. The invention may be also used where the lifetime personal identification in case of appearance modification is necessary. The presence of a lifetime X-ray computed tomography describing a respective bone skull fragment, a computed tomography of a post-mortal sample is performed without an autopsy. The comparison is performed in a digital format. The person is identified on the basis of determining a bone tissue density and special features of a bone structure. The examination is performed with using RayscanSymphony M dento-facial tomograph, Xelix Dental program. The bone fragment represents the bony body fragment, as follows: mastoid cells, a Turkish saddle, a temporomandibular joint.

EFFECT: method enables extending a list of the bone fragments sufficient for the personal identification, provides a high identification accuracy up to 99% by a single bone fragment (a 'puzzle') available from the above, reducing a wave distortion and an effective dose, better contrast range, image clearness, information storage ease and reliability.
