Resumo
O serviço de Radiologia Forense tem um importante papel na investigação
criminal, interagindo com as Unidades de Medicina Legal e Antropologia. Entre
essas aplicações estão: estudo de óbitos por acidentes aéreos e desastres,
documentação de lesões em acidentes de trânsito, autópsias médico-legais em
óbitos por asfixia mecânica, estudo de óbitos associados a ferimentos por
projéteis de arma de fogo, diagnóstico de maus-tratos infantis, verificação de a
autenticidade de provas físicas, identificação de cadáveres, exame em óbitos
fetais, lesões corporais, determinação de idade, exame de restos esqueléticos e
necropsia virtual (virtuopsia). Desse modo, o tema do presente estudo é
radiologia forense: o uso da radiologia para elucidação de crimes. Tem-se por
objetivo compreender a importância da radiologia forense na identificação de
pessoas vivas e cadáveres sendo um dos requisitos que a autoridade faz ao
médico legista e que em muitos casos é essencial para uma investigação judicial.
O método aplicado é de pesquisa bibliográfica, de natureza qualitativa, realizada
através de livros, artigos acadêmicos, periódicos e sites especializados quanto
ao tema escolhido. Como resultados destaca-se o fato de que as imagens são
essenciais na determinação do trauma, constituindo evidência confiável, objetiva
e científica na hora de comprovar a lesão. Pode-se concluir que a radiologia tem
aplicações de grande importância para esclarecer crimes e, assim, apoiar a
administração da justiça.
The Forensic Radiology service plays an important role in criminal investigation, interacting with the Legal Medicine and Anthropology Units. Among these applications are: study of deaths from air accidents and disasters, documentation of injuries in traffic accidents, medico-legal autopsies in deaths from mechanical asphyxia, study of deaths associated with injuries by firearms, diagnosis of maltreatment children, verification of the authenticity of physical evidence, identification of corpses, examination of fetal deaths, bodily injuries, age determination, examination of skeletal remains and virtual necropsy (virtuopsy). Thus, the subject of the present study is forensic radiology: the use of radiology to solve crimes. The objective is to understand the importance of forensic radiology in the identification of living people and corpses, being one of the requirements that the authority makes to the coroner and that in many cases is essential for a judicial investigation. The method applied is bibliographic research, of a qualitative nature, carried out through books, academic articles, periodicals and websites specialized in the chosen theme. As a result, we highlight the fact that images are essential in the determination of trauma, constituting reliable, objective and scientific evidence at the time of proving the injury. It can be concluded that radiology has applications of great importance to clarify crimes and thus support the administration of justice.
