O grande leque de aplicações e potencialidades da imagem médica forense tem sofrido uma enorme expansão e desenvolvimento nos últimos anos. Este estudo pretende demonstrar o papel da osteometria radiográfica na orientação da autópsia de fetos ou recém-nascidos post-mortem. Em termos metodológicos, este estudo teve por base uma pesquisa bibliográfica extensa, seguindo-se de um estudo observacional e retrospetivo. De seguida procedeu-se à recolha de dados biométricos e antropométricos, obtidos a partir dos relatórios das autópsias e das radiografias apensas realizadas em 152 fetos e recém-nascidos com idades inferiores a um ano, no período do ano de 2014 a 2015, observando-se que os valores variam principalmente em função da idade gestacional. Como principal resultado constatou-se que existem evidências estatísticas na osteometria radiográfica dos ossos longos (r=0,529, p<0,01), cujas medidas se relacionam diretamente com a idade gestacional. Conclui-se, assim, que a avaliação radiográfica nas autópsias de fetos e recém-nascidos é importante na determinação do subdesenvolvimento fetal ou pós-natal.
ABSTRACT - The wide range of applications and improvements of medical imaging for forensic purposes has undergo in past years a huge expansion and development. Thus, our study aim is to demonstrate the role of radiographic fetal osteometry from fetuses and newborns post-mortem. From a methodological point of view, this study was based on extensive bibliographic research, followed by an observational and retrospective study. From data of biometric and anthropometric parameters extracted from autopsies and radiographs performed in 152 fetuses and newborns, from 2014 to 2015, it can be observed that the results achieved were highly correlated with gestational age. As primary outcome, we found statistical evidence in radiographic osteometry (r=0.529, p<0.01) which measures are linked with gestational age. We conclude that radiographic evaluation in autopsies of fetuses and newborns is important in the determination of fetal or postnatal underdevelopment.
