Digital x-ray firm Kubtec is highlighting forensic research performed via its collaboration with Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT.
Gerald Conlogue, co-director of the Bioanthropology Research Institute at Quinnipiac, used Kubtec's Parameter 3D tomosynthesis system to image a dried fetal skull specimen borrowed from a collection at the Cushing Center at Yale University.
In partnership with Kubtec, University College Dublin in Ireland, Cranfield University in the U.K., the University of Connecticut Dental School, and Yale, Conlogue will use Kubtec's Parameter 3D tomosynthesis system to image specimens of varying sizes and gestational stages from the Cushing collection.
These images will then be compared with those acquired using different imaging modalities such as computed radiography, digital radiography, MDCT, dental conebeam CT, and microCT to identify which best visualizes forensic specimens, the company said.
