| Beschreibung: | Forensic facial reconstruction is a small field within the area of forensic medicine. Forensic odontologists, forensic anthropologists and specific trained artists are performing facial reconstructions. This forensic technique can be useful when other identification methods fail.
Since more than 100 years, scientists are trying to measure the thickness of the facial soft tissue layer, necessary to reconstruct a face. Measurements were performed both on living and dead persons. In the early years, probes and needles were used to measure the soft tissue thickness. Later on, both computers and ultrasonic equipment were introduced. Scientists faced some major problems though: the number of facial measuring points were very limited and the measurements were not accurate. Thus it was not possible to create a soft tissue database. On the other hand, there is a strong need for a reliable database of facial soft tissue thickness in the medical and anthropological forensic world. The aim of my research project was to develop an easy, efficient and reliable way to measure soft tissue thickness of the face. We used a small number of probands, within the same subcategory (age, ethnic). Holography was the perfect solution to reproduce the facial outline. In order to develop a new technique to do high precision facial soft tissue measurements, it is necessary to compare the holographic data to bone surface information. Computed Tomography can be a good source to provide these data. It is the first time a technique is developed to do high precision facial soft tissue thickness measurements, resulting in a dense field of measurement points. | |||||||
