Abstract
The present work contemplates the objective of developing an exploratory study with a qualitative approach, aiming to include professionals of radiological techniques in state or federal public notices as specialists in Legal Radiology. Therefore, an exploratory literature review was carried out using the PubMed database. The reflections, so far, allow for the following inferences: a) the fields subject to expertise have their limits in the joint reading between Law No. 7394 / 85 and Resolution No. 2/2012 - CONTER; b) the absence of trained professionals in the area migrated the demands of specialists to related areas, given the application of different methodologies in the analysis of the same objects; c) the need to create a technical and standardized framework for the training and specialization of technicians and technologists in medical radiology in the field of Legal Radiological Sciences. However, the emergence of scientific works problematizing and systematizing expert attributions will open up new work opportunities and sub-branches of expert activity in radiology.
Highlights
The birth of Forensic Radiology in the world follows the discovery of X-rays by a german physicist, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (1872) -1919), in 1895, who, after experiments with a vacuum tube, discovered that a paper containing platinum barium cyanide fluoresced when in contact with the rays coming from the ampoule
Radiological examination of the jaw of the victim killed by a firearm demonstrated the authorship of the murder, due to the presence of the lead projectile in the exposed structure (Bontrager & Lampignano, 2015). Before this event Brogdon (1998) report that the involvement of Forensic Radiology with Justice had a passage in Montreal, Canada, when 3 days before Röntgen’s communication to the scientific society of Würzburg, “George Holder fired his gun over Tolson Cunning's leg
The legal ones focus on the elements contained both in the Code of Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure, as well as in the other legal diplomas that are complementary to the expert activity
Summary
The birth of Forensic Radiology in the world follows the discovery of X-rays by a german physicist, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (1872) -1919), in 1895, who, after experiments with a vacuum tube, discovered (accidentally) that a paper containing platinum barium cyanide fluoresced when in contact with the rays coming from the ampoule. Radiological examination of the jaw of the victim killed by a firearm demonstrated the authorship of the murder, due to the presence of the lead projectile in the exposed structure (Bontrager & Lampignano, 2015). Before this event Brogdon (1998) report that the involvement of Forensic Radiology with Justice had a passage in Montreal, Canada, when 3 days before Röntgen’s communication to the scientific society of Würzburg, “George Holder fired his gun over Tolson Cunning's leg. At the request of the victim's physician, a professor of physics at McGill University, James Cox performed an X-ray of the injured extremity.
