With this 100% online program, you will deepen your knowledge of human anatomy, forensic pathology and postmortem identification methods, enabling you to deal with complex cases during forensic investigation”

By utilizing advanced imaging techniques, such as Radiography and Computed Tomography, Forensic Radiology becomes critical in cases of incomplete or mutilated skeletal remains, as it can reveal vital information about age, sex, previous illnesses or injuries, as well as distinctive features that help establish the identity of the individual. 

This is how this program was born, which will address a wide range of content to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of this crucial discipline. In addition, it will delve into the biological characterization of the individual through the analysis of parameters such as sex, age, height, ancestry and complexion, based on radiological images. 

The study will also prepare nurses to adapt radiological techniques to live individuals in situations where information cannot be obtained in any other way. This includes the application of advanced imaging methods in cases of trauma or internal injuries, where Radiology provides crucial data for medical treatment. 

Finally, the program will prepare professionals to apply radiological techniques in deceased individuals, in situations where it is not possible to access organic tissue in a conventional manner, such as in cases of charring or severe alterations of human decomposition. In fact, this ability will be fundamental for the reconstruction of events and the determination of causes of death in forensic investigations. Likewise, the use of Forensic Radiology will serve as a support for other disciplines, providing complementary information and improving the accuracy and reliability of forensic results. 

In terms of methodology, TECH offers a fully online educational environment, a suitable solution for busy professionals who wish to progress in their careers. It also employs the Relearning teaching method, which is based on the repetition of fundamental concepts to consolidate knowledge and facilitate the learning process. This combination of flexibility and a solid pedagogical approach undoubtedly makes it a highly accessible resource.

Forensic Radiology will provide you with a precise and non-invasive methodology for Human Identification, contributing to the resolution of judicial cases and the return of the identity of missing individuals”
