Abstract
The facial reconstruction from a skull is a line of research in forensic anthropology at international level. So far we have carried out different techniques to reconstruct the face from the skull of an individual from soft-tissue studies, conducted mostly over corpses. At the moment it is being tried to establish different models for the face and have expanded both the measures conventionally taken as other new, all made __in living subjects. In our study we propose to take these measurements of soft-tissue parts from the images obtained by ultrasound and by CT and compare the results between these two techniques and the results obtained by other authors. The materials used in this study were the images taken by ultrasound on 20 subjects and CT on 5 of them, current Spanish population. The results confirm the reliability of both methods in the measurement of facial soft tissue thickness.
