Accident Reconstruction of Damaged Human Body Using MDCT and Computer Numerical Analysis
Techniques to analyze damage to a human body provide an important foundation to investigate the human body’s dynamics during accidents. However, the systematic investigation and analysis of accidents’ causes are limited due to a lack of suitable technology, personnel, and equipment. Recently, 3-D te...

Techniques to analyze damage to a human body provide an important foundation to investigate the human body’s dynamics during accidents. However, the systematic investigation and analysis of accidents’ causes are limited due to a lack of suitable technology, personnel, and equipment. Recently, 3-D technologies and engineering verification through the finite element method have become widespread in forensics to investigate accidents’ causes and dynamic environments. Bone fracture analyses can provide important information on how victims may have died and injured. In this study, 3-D images obtained from multi-detector computed tomography of personal injuries and closed-circuit television, as well as image analyses based on forensic investigations, are used in a finite element program to analyze how ribs are broken during an accident and the possibility of further body damage. Technologies that deduce stress states and mechanisms are also developed in this study using FE analyses of the reconstructed model. |
