Paleoradiology has become a standard diagnostic method in the study of mummified or embalmed bodies. Among various available techniques, computed tomography valuing for its ability to provide detailed information. However, equipment is not always accessible research teams, cannot be easily transported all conservation sites, and raises health concerns. Therefore, mobile digital radiographic technology often most suitable investigative tool specific contexts. In this study, three mummies...
Abstract This paper presents a probable case of subligamentous tuberculous spondylitis (STBS), rare form extrapulmonary tuberculosis, diagnosed in the skeleton middle‐aged male discovered ossuary Franciscan crypt St. Anthony and Eusebius church, which lies north‐western Italy.

We discuss the probable presence of tuberculosis in non-adults a medieval rural community northern Italy with biocultural perspective. Before birth, mother and child have closely interconnected relationship, as suggested by role microchimerism on maternal health. To better understand maternal–child health related stress factors, paleopathology has investigated potential this relationship recent years.

Macroscopical, radiological, histological analyses were performed investigate condition. The allowed us detect progressive loss both outer table diploe, sparing inner table. As controversial condition clinical paleopathological literature, this poses some difficulties discussing differential diagnosis....
This work presents the neoplastic bone changes found in lower limb of a medieval skeleton from church Sant' Agostino Caravate (Northern Italy). After briefly assessing individual's overall pathological picture, differential diagnosis for is now proposed. These were analysed macroscopically and radiographically subsequently evaluated considering paleopathological clinical literature available. The allowed us to recognize tibiofibular osteochondroma some enchondromas medullary cavity tibia....
