Through this 100% online program, you will be up to date on the latest imaging techniques and maintain chain-of-custody security of radiological images”

Industry 4.0 and its technological advancements have had a positive impact for Forensic Radiology. A clear example is Ultrasound, which provides a quick and non-invasive initial assessment to detect potentially life-threatening injuries (such as internal bleeding or organ injuries). This tool is especially useful in the case of injuries caused by fragments of firearms or explosives, as it identifies the presence and location of foreign bodies inside individuals. In this way, professionals obtain high-resolution images useful for analyzing the reasons that led to the death of individuals. In turn, these radiological findings are of vital importance both during forensic investigations and legal proceedings.

In this scenario,TECH develops a very complete program in Radiology of Firearms and Explosives Trauma in Forensic Investigation. Its purpose is to keep nurses at the technological forefront, while strengthening their skills to provide assistance during autopsies or radiological imaging. The academic itinerary will provide a detailed classification of firearms and explosives, and will also present the most common injuries in both cases.  Likewise, the didactic materials will focus on the operation of the most innovative radiological tools, with emphasis on Axial Computed Tomography and Virtual Autopsy. This will enable professionals to ensure that cadavers are correctly positioned during radiographic procedures, reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.

The program is delivered completely online so that graduates can customize their study time. TECH uses its innovative learning system: Relearning. This allows professionals to consolidate the concepts of the syllabus in a progressive and natural way, without the need to resort to techniques such as memorizing. To access the Virtual Campus, all they need is an electronic device with an Internet connection. In this way, they will be able to enjoy the most dynamic educational resources on the market.
