Unusual personal identification with characteristic features in chest roentgenograms.

This case illustrates the unexpected aspects of radiographic personal identification. A skeletonized body without the neck and head, upper extremities, and feet was discovered on a seashore. No positive results were obtained from the remains concerning either the cause of death, the manner of death, or precise identification of the body. Roentgenologic examinations of the remains revealed a marked eminence of the manubrium sterni with characteristic crossing shadows. A successful partial superimposition of the ante- and postmortem lateral chest x-ray films helped to place the personal identification as that of a fisherman, 58 years old, missing in the sea for 21 days.

The reliability of the routine chest roentgenogram for determination of heart size based on specific ventricular chamber evaluation at postmortem.

Routine posteroanterior and lateral chest radiographs in 268 patients were analyzed to determine heart size--normal, cardiomegaly, or specific chamber enlargement--using specified radiographic criteria for enlargement. The accuracy of this determination was compared with a specific ventricular mass derived from a postmortem cardiac chamber partition technique. The data indicate that in the majority of cases (greater than 70%) a normal-sized heart or cardiomegaly can be correctly determined from the chest x-ray either by the subjective criteria of chamber enlargement or by measurement of the transverse diameter. The use of the chest x-ray, however, for evaluation of specific ventricular chamber enlargement is a less accurate determination, and results are compromised.
