Cone-beam Computed Tomography Analysis of the Frontal Sinus in Forensic Investigation

The frontal sinuses can provide significant evidence for forensic identification. The peculiarity of the frontal sinus contours allows a precise and meticulous analysis, reducing the risk of errors on the part of the forensic experts. To describe the use of cone-beam computed tomography as an altern...
