Abstract: Objective To evaluate the application of MSCT and post- processing images to fractures of nasalbone in forensic identification. Methods 134 cases were examined by thin slice scanning with MSCT and all ofthe data were sent to workstation for MPR and SSD. The result of MSCT was compared with that of X- ray. Re-sults There are 55 (41.04%) cases of linear fracture, 46 (34.33%) cases of comminuted fracture, 27 (20.15%)cases of depressed fracture and 6 (4.48%) cases of no fracture in this sample. With X- ray or CR, 48 (35.82%)cases were misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed. 133 (99.25%) cases were confirmed by MSCT. Significance differ-ence was found between X- ray and MSCT (χ2= 45.0816,P<0.001). Conclusion MSCT and post- processing im-ages might be the chief evidence for nasal fractures in forensic identification.
