[Accurate determination of wound depth with ultrasound and its forensic significance].
Accurate determination of the wound depth has long been a difficult task in forensic medicine due to lack of technology. Nowadays, the depth of the wound can be accurately determined by using high frequency 2-D ultrasound and Color Doppler Flow Imaging (CDFI). Two typical cases with ultrasonic images were reported to show the importance of ultrasound technology in forensic medicine. The new technology provides scientific evidence of the injury assessment.
