Craniofacial Superimposition Extended Course

Craniofacial Superimposition Extended Course

With this training you will understand (in addition to all the contents of the course ‘Fundamentals of Craniofacial Superimposition’) the anatomy of the craniofacial complex and the relationships between the skull and the face. You will learn the criteria used by experts to study these relationships and you will analyse correspondences on real cases with the Skeleton-ID software. You will solve cases of craniofacial superimposition from start to finish, making decisions and familiarising yourself with expert reports. Finally, you will understand the latest advances in standardisation and validation of the technique and the challenges that lie ahead.
