Visualization of External and Internal Injuries at the Swedish Forensic Medicine Office Using Computed Tomography and 3D Photogrammetric Models

The document discusses advancements in forensic medicine in Sweden, focusing on the use of photogrammetry and computed tomography (CT) for injury documentation. Photogrammetry, a cost-effective technology, allows for the creation of 3D models of injuries but is not widely used due to financial and personnel constraints. The Swedish forensic medicine office aims to integrate photogrammetry into routine practice. CT has been used in forensic medicine for over 20 years, primarily in cases involving suspected foul play, due to limited access to CT scanners. However, in the past four years, three out of six forensic facilities in Sweden have acquired their own CT scanners, expanding their use for both determining causes of death and documenting injuries.
