The advent of Industry 4.0 has had a significant impact on the medical field, completely revolutionizing the way in which forensic findings are analyzed. An example of this is provided by cutting-edge technologies such as X-Ray Imaging Systems, Magnetic Resonance Imaging or Computed Tomography. Precisely, the latter is one of the latest trends in the healthcare field due to its ability to provide higher resolution and higher quality images with faster scanning times. Additionally, this instrument is highly beneficial for detecting traumatic injuries in skeletal remains that are incomplete or in a poor state of preservation. In this way, it makes a significant contribution to experts in locating distinctive anatomical features that serve to determine the identity of individuals. 

In this context, TECH is developing a revolutionary Postgraduate diploma in Forensic Diagnostic Imaging Tools of Human Skeleton. Its objective is to provide specialists with the most advanced skills to effectively handle the most sophisticated machinery and thus optimize their processes of interpretation of autopsy snapshots. For this purpose, the syllabus will delve into the use of radiology equipment such as Ultrasound, X-Ray Tube and Conventional Radiographs. Likewise, the syllabus will highlight the importance of Dosimetric Magnitudes to obtain quantitative information on radiation exposure and help in the evaluation of lesions. The specialization will also delve into the anatomical characteristics of the human skeleton, allowing graduates to adapt image analysis techniques to compare bone pathologies and morphoanatomical variations. 

In order to consolidate these contents in an optimal way, TECH uses the innovative teaching system of Relearning. This is based on the progressive and natural reiteration of key knowledge, so students will enjoy effective learning without the need to memorize. The only thing they will need is a device with  Internet access to access the Virtual Campus.
