The replica provides an accurate and permanent record of the shape and dimensions of the base of the cranial cavity, together with the location and extent of any fractures of the skull. The method gives a good correlation between these characteristics and the type and extent of brain damage. | | Journal Title | Journal of the Forensic Science Society | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 29 | | Page Range | 407-412 | | Page Count | 6 |
