With this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will acquire skills to more accurately interpret radiological images and recognize the distinctive features of a variety of traumatic injuries”

Practically every day, there are constant changes in the protocols by which physicians must be guided in forensic environments. Added to this is the emergence of new technological tools, such as Computed Axial Tomography. Consequently, experts are challenged to stay ahead of all these changes to ensure that their traumatic injury diagnoses are as accurate as possible. Otherwise, specialists would experience a considerable delay in trauma detection. In addition, a lack of understanding of advances in radiological techniques could limit opportunities to contribute to forensic investigations and even lead to errors in assessments that risk both medical and legal litigation.

In order to guarantee a practice of excellent quality, TECH is developing a Postgraduate certificate in Forensic Radiological Techniques of Bone and Dental Trauma. The academic itinerary will delve into aspects ranging from the classification of blunt profile injury elements to the study of marks on the skeleton of injuries caused by powerful mechanics. Therefore, graduates will identify fractures in cadavers and determine their causes. Along the same lines, the academic materials will provide physicians with the most sophisticated radiobiological techniques (including X-rays and computed tomography). In addition, physicians will enhance their technical skills to process images optimally.

Regarding the methodology of this university program, TECH is based on the revolutionary Relearning teaching system. This method consists of the progressive reiteration of key concepts to ensure that graduates achieve a full understanding of the content. For access to all didactic resources, the only thing they will need is an electronic device with an Internet connection, (such as their cell phone, tablet or computer). Therefore, they will enter the Virtual Campus and enjoy dynamic learning.

You will access an updated and rigorous academic experience that will expand your professional horizons as a physician in the field of Forensic Radiology”

This Postgraduate certificate in Forensic Radiological Techniques of Bone and Dental Trauma contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include: 

• The development of practical cases presented by experts in Forensic Radiology
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which it is conceived gather scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are indispensable for professional practice
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning
• Its special emphasis on innovative methodologies
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

You will incorporate into your medical practice the most cutting-edge techniques to identify bone injuries caused by blunt objects in homicide victims”

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the industry who contribute their work experience to this program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.

The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive education programmed to learn in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this purpose, students will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.

You will achieve your objectives thanks to the didactic tools that TECH offers you, including interactive summaries and explanatory videos"

With the Relearning system, you will no longer invest a large amount of study hours and will focus on the most important concepts"

Through this university program, practitioners will be provided with a holistic view of the most innovative imaging techniques for the identification of bone and dental lesions. At the same time, graduates will enhance their interpretation skills to detect fractures, dislocations or contusions, among others.

In this way, medical professionals will be able to determine the nature of traumatic injuries and the chronology of the events. In addition, they will develop communication skills to accurately document their radiological findings to serve as evidence in legal proceedings.

You will develop competencies to interpret radiological images accurately and recognize the distinguishing features of different types of bone or dental injuries”

General Objectives

• Identify and recognize the different types of elements that generate blunt injuries in the individual
• Evaluate the physical and mechanical characterization behind each element to know how it works
• Recognize the different injury characteristics based on the type of weapon, mechanical application and nature of the tissue
• Define the extent of injuries to the tissues of the individual

Specific Objectives

• Assess the difference in injury between weapon, object, structure and blunt mechanism
• Recognize mixed injury patterns, such as those caused by short-blunt elements
• Fundamentals of radiodiagnostic techniques in deceased individuals from which no information can be obtained without altering the organic tissue, either because it is not possible to have access to the interior of the tissue, as in cases of charring or in alterations of human decomposition or because it cannot be altered for further studies
• Provide support to other disciplines to characterize the injuries of the individual

The clinical case studies in this program will give you a more accurate approach to the identification of skeletal marks from blunt mechanical injuries”
