Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Forensic medicine arose with the establishment of human society and continues to be a crucial aspect of the medical field today. After World War II, forensic medicine was enhanced significantly due to the introduction of blood typing. In recent years, diagnostic techniques have been further developed by the introduction of DNA typing and CT machines. This Special Issue aims to collect papers that will enable forensic diagnosis to progress in the following fields: pathology. odontology, radiology, anthropology, toxicology, body fluid analysis, DNA analysis, traffic science
