Forensic Anatomy is an applied subfield within Anatomy and serves the investigative and judicial communities by analyzing human remains for medicolegal purposes. This specialized area of Anatomy requires a detailed anatomical and osteological knowledge and vocational training. Within this context, Forensic Anatomy uses applied osteological techniques to aid in the analysis of significantly decomposed or skeletonized remains, known or suspected of being human, with the primary objectives of identifying unknown individuals and providing information to diagnose the cause and manner of death.
