ABSTRACT
Radiography has been utilized extensively in forensic, archaeological, and humanitarian investigation since “a new kind of ray” was described by William Roentgen in 1895.
X-ray imaging utilizes the principles of the absorption of x-ray photons to demonstrate differentiations in atomic structure (or density) of the subject under examination. Minimally invasive, objective, permanent, and comparatively cost effective imaging techniques are now commonplace in the capture of physical evidence in the forensic investigation.
