Through this Relearning-based Postgraduate diploma, you will develop advanced skills in the field of imaging and provide crucial findings to clarify forensic investigations" 

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought with it multiple technological advances, which have driven the development of high-resolution medical imaging equipment. Therefore, practitioners in the field of Forensic Radiology operate sophisticated machinery such as Computed Tomography to obtain detailed snapshots of bone and soft tissues. This enables medical professionals to contribute to the identification of unknown deceased individuals by comparing their previous medical records with anthropological and even odontological records. In this sense, specialists provide detailed radiological evidence that can be of great use both during forensic investigations and judicial proceedings.

In this scenario, TECH has developed a complete Postgraduate diploma in Forensic Radiology in Pathologies by Compared Anatomy. Its purpose is to provide a high degree of specialization oriented to the characterization of bone and joint pathologies in radiological photographs. To make this possible, the academic itinerary will carry out an exhaustive analysis of the human skeleton that will allow graduates to identify anomalies such as the presence of relevant foreign objects in cases of traumatic deaths. At the same time, the syllabus will address the most common bone diseases in the forensic context, among which Osteoporosis, Rickets or Cancer stand out. Likewise, the didactic materials will offer the keys to detect signs of child abuse from the data obtained by means of tools such as MRI, X-rays or Axial Tomographies.

It should be noted that the approach of this program reinforces its innovative character. TECH offers a fully online educational environment, tailored to the needs of busy professionals who want to advance their careers. Through the Relearning methodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix knowledge and facilitate learning, flexibility is combined with a highly robust pedagogical approach. Additionally, specialists will have access to a library full of cutting-edge multimedia resources.
