Craniometry and mathematical calculations as a method for viscero-cranium profile determination.
The aim of this work is to prove the application of craniometry in determining the identity of unknown bodies. There is a great correlation between the viscero-cranium appearance and the osseous structure, the said correlation following mathematical rules and thus being possible to be calculated. Various segments of the skull and different size of the angles they make with each other are directly responsible for the graphic profile of viscero-cranium. The nasal bones and their angle are the basis to determine the shape and size of the nose.
