TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Feasibility of use of medical dual energy scanner for forensic detection and characterization of explosives, a phantom study JO - International journal of legal medicine A1 - Ognard, Julien A1 - Bourhis, David A1 - Cadieu, Romain A1 - Grenier, Michel A1 - Saccardy, Claire A1 - Alavi, Zarrin A1 - Ben Salem, Douraied SP - 1915 EP - 1925 VL - 134 IS - 5 N2 - Detection of explosives is a challenge due to the use of improvised and concealed bombs. Post-bomb strike bodies are handled by emergency and forensic teams. We aimed to determine whether medical dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) algorithm and prediction model can readily detect and distinguish a range of explosives on the human body during disaster victim identification (DVI) processes of bombings.
