Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To table a proposal for select using the medical imaging methods to evaluate pelvic injury in forensic field, by studying the structure of pelvis and radiological methods in common use.
METHODS:A study of several cases of pelvic injury was done, in which biomechanics and classification of pelvic injury were analyzed, moreover imaging methods were compared with each other, such as fluoroscopy, X-ray photography, computerized tomography (CT) and so on.
RESULTS:Four cases of pelvic injury are all multiple injuries, confirmed by X-ray photography and CT examination approvingly.
CONCLUSIONS:Authors advocate that pelvic injury mechanism and biomechanics should be considered accordingly, multiple injuries should be attracted notice, so as to select suitable imaging methods to evaluate pelvic injury exactly.
