Sažetak
Paleoradiology is the study of bioarcheological and archeological materials using X-ray radiography, computed tomography (CT), mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), terahertz imaging and micro-CT. Paleoradiology plays a crucial role in anthropology, archeology and history of medicine since the invention of X-rays and only few months after the invention of X-rays it was used in scientific study of mummies. Dragutin Gorjanović Kramberger was first to image hominid fossils with X-ray in 1901 in Zagreb, Croatia. Later on CT was also introduced in imaging of archeological materials. With the development of post-processing softwares potential of using radiology in anthropology is increased as it allows the better visualization of structures and archiving of scanned images. Nevertheless, today paleoradiology is still underused as professional paths of clinical radiologists, sub-specialized in muskuloskeletal radiology and anthropologists rarely meet. Although recent advances in applying new methods in ancient dry samples such as terahertz imaging and MRI, expanded the role of paleoradiology in scientific studies of archeological materials, still same problems persist: the availability of scanners and the lack of standardized protocols. These facts have to be surmounted in future with closer cooperation between scientists. Paleoradiological analyses have a great potential of public presentation, especially in form of museum exhibitions as all past events had a great public impact.
