Abstract
Introduction. The investigation is devoted to the possibility of application of computed tomography for forensic examination of skeletal human remains. Aim of study : to evaluate the CT scanning application to skeletons with poor preservation state of bone tissue; to find out the possibility to describe the traumatic lesions on bones; to examine the density of bone tissue. Material and method . The skeletonized remains of General Guden, the participant in the Napoleonic campaign of 1812 were studied by CT scanner «Philips Medical Systems». Results. Antemortem and postmortem traumas are described as well as bone tissue density. Conclusion. Postmortem tomography is the best non-invasive method to study skeletonized human remains in bad preservation state, which allows to define the antemortem and postmortem traumas.
