2nd International Conference on Reconstruction of Soft Facial Parts

When found at Winkeler Bay the woman had been dead for ten years, her body mutilated beyond recognition. In fact, no one was sure she would ever be identified. However, facial reconstruction techniques not only helped in her identification, but also prompted the hunt for her killer.

Medical artists have carried out facial reconstruction of skulls for decades, using pins and modelling clay to gradually build up a potential likeness of an ancient or modern human being, from mummies to murder victims. Now increasingly complex software programmes are combining medical imaging and laser scanning to build up soft tissue and obtain detailed 3-D facial images onscreen.

RSFP 2005, the 2nd International Conference on Reconstruction of Soft Facial Parts, organised by the RheinAhrCampus Remagen and Bundeskriminalamt in cooperation with Caesar Bonn, and Dusseldorf and Leuven universities, will take place on 17-18 March.
