You will gain a deep understanding of the structure of the human skeleton and biological identification through this Postgraduate Diploma, based on a 100% online methodology"

The emergence of the so-called Industry 4.0 has considerably impacted the Forensic Radiology sector, driving the development of more advanced healthcare imaging technologies. An example of this is Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which provides high-resolution images that allow detailed visualization of internal structures of the human body (such as soft tissues). This tool also detects lesions as well as anomalies or pathologies that are relevant for the recognition of individuals. For example, the presence of a metallic prosthesis. In this way, professionals obtain valuable information that contributes significantly to establish the identity of the deceased.

Faced with this reality, TECH implements a Postgraduate diploma in Forensic Radiology in Human Identification. Aimed at nursing personnel, the main objective of this program is that these professionals keep themselves technologically updated and master the basic principles to identify injuries in the body of individuals. Therefore, the syllabus will deal with the particularities of the human skeleton, as well as biological identification. In this sense, the specialization will provide the keys to the operation of innovative tools, among which Computed Tomography, Virtopsias or X-Rayox Tubes stand out.  Likewise, the didactic materials will offer a detailed classification of traumatic fractures in the forensic context that will enable graduates to detect possible cases of child abuse and even illegal drug transportation.

Regarding the learning system, this course is taught completely online, providing professionals with the necessary flexibility to adapt to their schedules. Additionally, the Relearningmethodology, based on the repetition of key concepts to fix the knowledge, will facilitate effective and long-lasting learning. This combination of accessibility and innovative pedagogical approach will ensure that graduates will acquire practical skills to optimize both their clinical work and clinical care.
